Creating Communities Where Teens & FamiliesTalk About Mental Health
50% of mental health issues can be identified by age 14. Creating school and home environments where teens and families feel comfortable talking about their mental health can help prevent crises and build overall health and well-being.
Join Integral Care, NAMI Austin and the Austin Independent School District to hear from a parent and young adult sharing their personal experience with mental illness as well as a mental health clinician and community mental health advocate talking about treatment and resources.
Tuesday, May 9th
4:45pm – 6:45pm
John H. Reagan High – Cafeteria

Resource Fair & Dinner starts at 4:45pm

During the panel, our speakers will share information, ideas and tools to help support teens and families. We’ll talk about:
