Trusted Adult Workshop
Offered in Blaine, WA on June 25 (930am & 1pm - choose 1 time session)
Do you want to develop skills to help youth when they are struggling?
Learn (from local youth) what adults can do, say and know to be the trusted adults that youth expect and need them to be when they are in distress? This 2-hour session is facilitated by youth for an adult audience, and pairs well as a follow-up training from the MAD HOPE Youth Suicide Prevention & Well Being Training (being held June 11).
