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). Click here for information and registration for the June 11th MAD HOPE Youth Suicide Prevention & Well Being Training.

This is an amazing opportunity for parents or youth workers to hear from youth what they look for in a trusted adult.
