In this webinar, you will learn

As students go back to school over the next month, NAMI has updated Back to School resources. These are designed to help students, their teachers, and their families work together to develop safe ways to navigate mental health challenges.

Students will learn about how to get help early, plan for crisis, prevent burnout, and more.

Educators may be the first to notice students’ behavior change. The educator resources can help prepare teachers and trusted adults to navigate mental health conversations.

Parents and caregivers can learn about creating a safe space to talk about mental health and foster healthy mental wellness habits with their children.

This night will honor Bristlecone Family Resources who will give the first pitch.
