May is Mental Health Awareness month. So many of our children and youth are facing challenges with managing anxiety.  The training will provide a greater understanding around childhood expressions of anxiety, treatment modalities and best practices, and how to determine best referral resources. Dr. Atkinson with Volunteer Behavioral Health will be our keynote speaker. Additionally, a Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) training strategy for suicide prevention will also be a part of our day. Coping skills to mitigate anxiety will also be shared.
