Supporting Youth Mental Health

Build skills to support youth mental health. Adults who volunteer with young people, care about young people. One way to show we care is to give help and support when someone is feeling down. That’s what the Supporting Youth Mental Health for Volunteers Training—Supporting YMH, for short—is all about: knowing how to support youth when they’re down, whether it’s simply a bad day or it’s more than that. (Participants will be sent a link for a short assignment to complete prior to attending the live session at Fall Forum.)
