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 and students 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. Students will learn and practice communication skills, emotional literacy, mindfulness, and how to recognize, manage, and cope with stress.
Consulting & Education
We create and facilitate workshops and webinars for parents, caregivers, and adults who work with youth in any capacity. Our workshops range in scope and depth from an overview of what mental health is, creating agency over your mental health, and self care. We work with organizations to create relevant and impactful curriculum to meet their unique needs.
