Join us to connect with others who share concern and passion for developmentally appropriate and appealing systems and supports for youth and young adults. Maybe you're a peer support provider or a new professional with lived experience. Whatever your role, if you are a young adult professional seeking to make peer-to-peer connections and develop your professional capacity, this learning community serves as a forum to learn and build skills with other mental health workforce professionals.

In May, we’ll have a guest presenter, Victoria Eckert from Youth MOVE National, talking about suicide prevention! Victoria will be offering the training “Talk Saves Lives: An Introduction to Suicide Prevention.” This community-based presentation covers the general scope of suicide, the research on prevention, and what people can do to fight suicide.  This is an evidence-based training from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Attendees will learn the risk and warning signs of suicide, and how together, we can help prevent it.

Audience:
The target audience for this learning community is young professionals in the Pacific Southwest working with youth and young adults of transition age. As a community, we encourage members to serve as peer facilitators and be engaged to maximize the exchange of ideas and strategies for better serving youth and young adults.
