  2. Acquire skills to help you recognize and address common signs of mental health issues in young people
  3. Enhance your understanding of mental health challenges prevalent among diverse youth in your community, and 
  4. Effectively interact with adolescents in crisis and connect them with appropriate resources.

The FREE 5-hour virtual training will be held as part of a research study on a Saturday or Sunday between May and November from 10am to 4pm EST. You and your child will also earn up to $80 for completing surveys as part of the research study!
