  • 3/2 Supporting Parents at Work: Youth Mental Health

    Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022, 3:00pm, Virtually through Wellness Council of America (WELCOA)

    America is facing a dire mental health crisis for our young people, as the pandemic upended their education, social lives, and support networks. In an effort to support parents at work, the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA) is offering a free webinar to help working adults create an open dialogue with young people and other working adults about youth mental health. Additionally, adults will be guided on how to spot the signs of a youth in crisis and will be equipped with mental health resources to share with the youth in their lives.

    Join youth mental health experts Kee Dunning and Dr. Hansa Bhargava as they share the impact of their work with the Well Beings public media health campaign. They aim to raise awareness, reduce stigma and discrimination, and change the national conversation around youth mental health.
