Tuesday, May 14 @ 6 PM: When to Worry: Know the FACTS | Mental Health Awareness Training for Parents and Caregivers This Mental Health Awareness Month, join The NAN Project to get the FACTS! The NAN Project recognizes the critical role of parents and caregivers in mental health awareness and suicide prevention for young people.
If you're worried about your child's mental health, you're not alone. Rising rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidality in youth are impacting every community in Massachusetts, and across the country. As parents and caregivers, it can be difficult to know what to look out for in your child, and when it's time to worry.
This training will provide a practical outline of the FACTS (feelings, actions, changes, threats, and situations) that may indicate a child is struggling, and suggestions on how to start a conversation with a young person in crisis.
The NAN Project was established in 2015 and is dedicated to raising the conversation about depression and suicide above a whisper by giving communities and schools the forum, tools, and resources needed to accept and address depression and suicidality. Registration is required.
