  • 4/28 LGBTQ+ School Mental Health Lunch & Learn

    On Friday, April 28th from 11 AM to 1 PM, the YES Institute will be leading students in a "virtual lunch and learn" sponsored by the School Psychology program. During this lunch and learn, we will learn how best to support the mental health of LGBTQ+ students within the school setting (and we will eat our lunches together, of course).

    The YES Institute’s goal is to build a community in which all youth develop as healthy individuals free of suicide, violence, and discrimination through powerful communication and education on gender and orientation. In our current political culture, it has never been more important to have these discussions and support these goals.

    This workshop will be open to all individuals interested in supporting the mental health of this student population. The cap for the virtual room will be 40 attendees. If you would be interested in coming, please register here.
