Youth and Teen Mental Health 1st Aid.
We want to bring Youth Mental Health First Aid Training to any and all organizations that interact with young people. This phenomenal training equips adults with the resources necessary to support young people who may be experiencing a mental health challenge, trauma, or crisis. Because youth often reach out to their peers for support we also offer teen Mental Health First Aid training for 10th-12th graders.
SEL Skill Building.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence based practice that focuses on the skills of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Each of these areas supports youth in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) We have created workshops for educators based on these domains. In these workshops educators learn to engage students in activities that focus on developing these four skill areas and strengthen resilience.
