Online Forum Tonight: Teen Mental Health & Drug-Free Choices

Posted

Covid-19 school closures and distance learning, cancellation of athletics, arts and culture - how can you help your kids cope with stress and depression? Teachers, parents and guardians are welcome to join a free online forum Wednesday, May 12 starting at 6 p.m. on Zoom.  

Hosted by La Frontera Arizona EMPACT Suicide Prevention Center, the online forum will explore ways to support teens who are grappling with mental health challenges, how to talk to them about alcohol, drugs and peer pressure. The forum is free, and organizers hope more teachers, parents and guardians from throughout Gila County will attend, learn together - and share. If you have questions, or to have the Zoom website address conveniently sent to you, please email Stefanie.Cary@lafrontera-empact.org.
