Parents and caregivers, a huge THANK YOU to you for all of your hard work already this year! We are excited to have more events brought back, and while we realize that it is a very busy fall for us, it is amazing to see the smiles on our kids’ faces! We couldn’t do anything without your support!

As part of the School-Based Mental Health Grant we received as a district, we are excited to offer a Fall and Spring opportunity to train parents, guardians and community members in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA). Our first training opportunity will occur on December 6th from 4:00-8:30 PM. During the YMHFA course, participants develop an understanding of the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in youth, the importance of early intervention, and how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. Participants will engage in a 2-hour self-paced course followed by a 4.5-hour in-person session with a district trainer. If you are interested in engaging in this Fall training, please complete this form no later than November 4th. A confirmation email will be sent to finalize your enrollment in the course and the next steps. Please note this is the same course we offered last year, so please only sign up if you have not yet been certified.
