Youth for Prevention Week

For the last week in Suicide Prevention Month, we will be celebrating our youth working in suicide prevention. This week’s theme is Youth for Prevention, and we know that without the youth suicide prevention has no future. Throughout this week will have activities youth focused including a virtual scavenger hunt and art gallery release celebrating suicide prevention. Four winners will be chosen from our virtual scavenger hunt on Monday, September 28th. At 9am tomorrow, we will post a scavenger hunt on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and website. The first 4 people to take a photo with all the scavenger hunt items on their social media page with #V4PScavHunt will be given a prize. The virtual scavenger hunt winners will be announced the next day on Tuesday, Sept. 29th. So keep your phones and laptops close, and Happy Scavenger Hunting!

Today we take a look at a Sources of Strength campaign about stress for youth. If you are stressed, it might be time to pause for a self-check. The September Strong Minds concept was formed in partnership with the Jessamine County Schools Sources of Strength self-awareness and mental health initiatives. The workgroup wants to promote these youth generated efforts into the community! Visit https://www.jessaminehealth.org/wellness-assessment/ for more self-awareness and emotional wellness resources.
