We invite you to our Blue Hen District Roundtable on Tuesday, May 12 @ 7 PM at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church (2800 Duncan Rd., Wilmington).
This month’s breakout session—Prepared to Support: Youth Mental Health First Aid Resources for Scouters—focuses on supporting the mental well-being of the youth we serve. When we learn First Aid, we stabilize a situation and ensure a safe hand-off to professional care when it’s needed. This session takes that same principle and applies it to youth mental health.
We’ll share practical information and unit-level resources you can use to better recognize risk factors, increase awareness, and support youth who may be struggling or at risk for su***de. You’ll also learn about sources of further training in early intervention techniques, and even crisis intervention methods, so you can feel more confident responding when it matters most.
I strongly you to attend and take resources back to your unit. The knowledge gained in this session has the potential to make a real difference.
