πŸ“£ Help Us Build a Healthier Future for Miami County Youth!

The Miami County Mental Health Initiative (MCMHI) is excited to introduce the Miami County Youth Wellness Coalition, a new sub-coalition of MCMHI focused on supporting the health and well-being of our youth.

The coalition will bring together youth, schools, families, healthcare providers, law enforcement, businesses, community organizations, and other local partners to:

β€’ Prevent youth va**ng, alcohol, to***co, and other drug use
β€’ Support positive mental health and overall well-being
β€’ Provide education, prevention resources, and community awareness
β€’ Identify local trends and emerging concerns
β€’ Create opportunities for youth leadership and peer involvement
β€’ Strengthen partnerships across Miami County

Most importantly, we want youth voices to be part of the conversation. By working alongside young people and the adults who support them, we hope to develop prevention efforts that are relevant, meaningful, and responsive to the needs of our community.

πŸ“… Our first coalition meeting is coming up!
Date: Friday, October 9, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM
Both in-person and virtual participation will be available.

πŸ’› World Su***de Prevention Day | September 10

Su***de is a public health issue that affects individuals, families, and communities everywhere.

According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, 516 Kansas residents died by su***de in 2024.

Behind every number is a person who mattered. A family member. A friend. A coworker. A neighbor.

Today is a reminder that su***de prevention starts with connection. Check in with the people around you. Ask how they are really doing. Listen without judgment. You do not need to have the perfect words or know exactly what to say.

Sometimes, simply asking β€œAre you okay?” can open the door to a conversation that could make a difference.

πŸ’› If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.

πŸ“ž Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

Let's keep the conversation going. Let's check on our people. And let's remind one another that help is available, hope is possible, and no one has to face a difficult moment alone.
