Workshop at Our Future in Mind - Youth Mental Health Awareness Conference, from Yavapai County Community Health Services.

Our Future in Mind is a 2-day, in-person Event, for those working directly with children, teens and young adults. This includes public health staff, teachers and school staff, advocates, child counselors, nurses, parents, probation officers, and teens. Basically, anyone interested in youth mental health.

Having the support of adults is crucial to the mental wellbeing of young trans & nonbinary people. Research shows that having even one trusted adult significantly reduces suicidality among trans youth. This presentation for adult family members, educators, and service providers is designed to enhance understanding of gender identities and provide fundamental communication practices needed to develop that trust. Whether you’re struggling or supportive, this session provides a space to ask tough questions and make mistakes.
