Yavapai County Community Health Services is sponsoring a 2-day, in-person Youth Mental Health Awareness Conference. This event will benefit anyone who works directly with children, teens, and young adults. This includes public health staff, teachers and school staff, advocates, child counselors, nurses, parents, probation officers, and teens. Basically, anyone interested in youth mental health. We encourage teens and young adults to attend this conference to help them understand their own mental health.
Childhood and adolescence is a time for young people to build a healthy start in life. Rates of our youth reporting poor mental health is increasing. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, young people have experienced anxiety, stress, substance use, suicide, and feelings of isolation. With students back in the classroom, there is a stronger awareness of the impact they are facing. Their education is being interrupted by these concerns.
This Conference brings in experts from different areas to address topics such as brain development, anxiety, and stress--and many more mental health topics. By learning and understanding their concerns, we can better provide resources and support to these young people as they grow with all our futures in mind.
Please feel free to share this registration link to anyone you feel my benefit from this training.
Register now for our Youth Mental Health Awareness Conference – July 25th & 26th!
