📍 Waconia — Anna Claire Kallman & Alicia Michels Donovan taught YMHFA
📍 Belle Plaine & Nicollet — Corey Roskamp led Staff Info Sessions
📍 Lester Prairie — Jim Strehlke led Parent Info Sessions

And TOMORROW? Hold onto your coffee. ☕😂

🔥 16 SESSIONS IN ONE DAY! 🔥
It’s officially ALL HANDS ON DECK!

💙 Staff Info Sessions at Buffalo (x2), Buffalo Lake, Eden Valley-Watkins & Chanhassen

💜 Parent Info Sessions at GSL, Delano, Chaska IAA, Belle Plaine, EVW, Waconia, Hutchinson, Buffalo, Chanhassen & Chaska

➕ We’re also contracted to teach YMHFA for New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva staff!

And here’s a stat that really puts this week into perspective:

🤯 We are teaching as many YMHFA classes THIS WEEK as we did ALL OF LAST YEAR.

Our team is covering some serious miles, drinking some serious coffee, and working hard to get **32** schools, staff and families ready for tMHFA this school year.

Here we go! 🙌

Proud to bring National Council for Mental Wellbeing Teen Mental Health First Aid to GFW Public Schools! 💜🩵

This fall, GFW High School is partnering with 2B CONTINUED to provide Teen Mental Health First Aid (tMHFA) training to our students in 10th grade.

Because the program includes important and sometimes sensitive topics, we want to give our 10th grade families an opportunity to learn more before the student sessions begin.

Join us for a Parent Information Session on Thursday, Aug. 27, at 6 p.m.

🌳 A HUGE thank you to Ryan Lewis and L&E Tree Service of Ga***rd!

Ryan and his crew recently tackled three large stumps in the backyard of our 2B CONTINUED office property—removing and chipping them out, filling the areas with black dirt, and taking care of all the cleanup.

And the best part? Every bit of the labor, black dirt, and cleanup was generously donated to 2B CONTINUED! 💜🩵

They truly left our property better than they found it. Top-notch work from people who clearly care about their community.

Ryan and L&E Tree Service, thank you for your generosity and for supporting 2B CONTINUED in such a practical and meaningful way. We appreciate you! 🌳👏
