Ongoing training in mental health screenings and assessments for suicidality, understanding protective factors, and being familiar with community resources available to families and youth can make a significant difference in reducing youth suicide rates. Please join national and local mental health experts to discuss a variety of topics to address the youth mental health crisis.
