About this Event
Beneath the Surface: The Pain Killing Our Kids
Join us at The Hope Institute of CUSD or virtually for an informative and life saving presentation with Amy Kathleen Lee to dive beneath the surface of the youth mental health crisis and explore the real issues driving them to end their lives. Death by suicide in young people is on the rise and shows no slowing down. Let's slow this devastating trend.
Through the power of personal stories, parents and educators will
- Learn to recognize and validate emotional pain using three life-saving messages all struggling young people need to hear.
- Discover the power of confidently initiating mental health conversations as a solution, not to be dreaded.
- Gain real-life insights that turn talk into a walk of saving lives.
After this presentation, parents and educators will see the crisis from a new perspective and understand their role in initiating conversations that become the bridge on which youth walk out of isolation into connection.
