The number one protective actor for youth is having a trusted adult in their life. This program takes a two-generation approach to our youth mental health crisis. As adults learn skills and strategies to create safe spaces for young people, youth feel more comfortable expressing their needs and asking for help. The goal is to build adult skills in order to build a web of trusted adults in the community.
