Description

The #1 Protective Factor for Youth is having a trusted adult in their life who believes in them. As the rates of mental health challenges are sky rocketing youth need Trusted Adults more than ever.  The Trusted Adult program takes a two-generation approach to our youth mental health crisis.

The adults learn skills and strategies to create safe spaces for youth. The youth feel more comfortable expressing their needs and asking for help.

Our goal is to build adult skills in order to build a web of trusted adults in the community.  Together, youth and adults facilitate the journey to wellness.


This training will include copies and use of the Calm and Connected Toolkit as well as follow up community of practice opportunities.
