(MR3) Youth Volunteer Training: Youth Mental Health 101

Activity Notes

Mental health issues affect everyone. 1 in 5 people experience a diagnosed mental illness each year. If it's not you, it's your partner, your friend, your colleague, your neighbor, or your child. Over half of mental illnesses are diagnosed by age 14, and they manifest in many ways all around us. Join Daniel Cavanaugh on January 7th at the MMC for an evening of exploring the fundamentals of youth mental health literacy, how it manifests right here in the MMC and our outdoor spaces, and in Mazama Youth Programs. Come with a willingness to learn and leave with takeaways on what to do if someone around you seems to be experiencing difficulties related to their mental health. This training is intended for Mazama Youth Program Volunteers, but open to anyone interested.
