  • Increased awareness of mental health issues among school-age youth.

  • Training educators and other youth-serving adults to detect and respond to mental health issues.

  • Connect children, youth, and families who may experience behavioral health issues with appropriate services.

Mental Health Safety Planning

We have safety plans in the event of a fire, tornado, inclement weather so why not create a Mental Health Safety Plan?

 

Mental Health Safety Plan

A mental health safety plan can help families formulate coping strategies for situations that cause children and teens increased stress and anxiety, as well as identify potential red flags that signal a need to seek professional help.
