Last month, a cohort from Colebrook came together for Youth Mental Health First Aid training, a CMF Kids offering to strengthen supports in under-resourced communities. Training is led by our own Rebecca Cocco, who is credentialed by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing as a Youth Mental Health First Aid instructor. The training teaches participants how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among youth ages 12–18.
We welcomed three families, school resource police officers, special education administrators, trauma response members, community advocates, paraprofessionals, teachers, bus drivers, special educators, and mental health professionals.
