Additionally, we wanted to introduce your students to our Coaching Meetings! On the 4^th Friday of every month, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, a special guest presenter from a local community program shares tips and information related to mental health, social services, local resources, and more! Examples include “Mandated Reporter Training” and “How to Become a Peer Support Specialist." This monthly meeting is open to all who are interested! It is a great place to learn more information, as well as network with local non-profits and agencies. Please register at YFSP Coaching Meetings.
