Inspiring Dreams Network Our mission is to foster, equip and empower stronger, resilient community networks that inspire and support youth to thrive.

We envision a future where every community is equipped and empowered to nurture the dreams, resilience and success of its youth. Who We Are: A group of passionate educators, mental health professionals, and community leaders founded Inspiring Dreams Network because we saw first-hand how many youth float through school and life with little hope or dreams for their future. On the flip side, we have also seen how a caring adult who connects with and supports a youth can inspire them to reach their maximum potential. There are numerous school and community programs, yet so many youth who are most at risk are not connected to these programs. Our role is to serve as the connector by establishing best practice standards for volunteers working with youth, training volunteers and empowering youth.

Presenting on Peaceful Conflict Resolution, exhibiting, and attending sessions at the Student Support Conference sponsored by the West Virginia Department of Education. So wonderful to hear from Ruby Paine again and to know that she's still researching the impact of poverty on children and families.

My favorite session yesterday focused on prevention and broke into groups. Our group built a Tree of Hope... can't wait to incorporate into our training. It was also great to be an official exhibitor and network with wonderful individuals and organizations that IDN plans to collaborate with in the prevention world.

Participating in the Eradicate Hate Global Summit in Pittsburg. Attended a couple sessions yesterday and set up our exhibit. Powerful panel discussion this morning on social norms built around stifling ideology like... real men don't cry.....leading to a mental health crisis and shortened life expectancy. Let's raise young men who think and live differently. Start early!!

This is a great resource. Please call 988 if thoughts of su***de occur. Their trained experts are so ready to provide help and support!

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. Many of our girls come to us with suicidal thoughts. After all they have been through, unfortunately, that is not surprising. According to Psychiatry Magazine "One of the most effective ways to address suicidal thoughts is through therapy." (https://psychiatrymagazine.com/therapy-options-for-suicidal-thoughts-treatments-support/).

The therapists here at The Covering House are skilled at helping our girls cope with and overcome these types of thoughts. They use a Trauma-Informed approach to care for our clients utilizing multiple kinds of therapies including individual, group, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out to someone or call the su***de/crisis hotline at 988. There are people, just like our therapists, that want to help.
