Supporting Youth Mental Health

The Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) Student Advocates for Mental Health (SAMH) Program will be hosting a “Supporting Youth Mental Health” presentation through OCDE’s Family Community Partnership Network.

This presentation will be facilitated by Directing Change co-founder, Stan Collins. He will discuss mental health challenges brought to light by students participating in the SAMH Program this year, how adults can best support youth mental health and emotional wellbeing, and share resources to promote continued education, awareness, and access to services.

Information regarding how schools can participate in the SAMH Program will be provided. This will be an open event available for any interested school staff, parents, and caregivers throughout the County to attend.
