A Two-Part Training

**Must Attend Both Sessions**

  • Part I: August 28, 2018, 10AM-2PM
  • Part II: August 29, 2018, 10AM-2PM

Participants will be educated on the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents, build an understanding of the importance of early intervention, and teaches the individuals how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge, which is common in adolescents, including anxiety; depression; psychosis; eating disorders; ADHD; disruptive behavior disorders; and substance use disorder.

  • Assess for risk of suicide or harm
  • Listen nonjudgmentally
  • Give re-assurance and information
  • Encourage appropriate  professional help
  • Encourage self-help and other support strategies
