303C
Objectives:
  1. Participants will have an understanding of the current state of youth mental health and what schools can do to improve student well-being through a mental health literacy model.
  2. Participants will learn about eff ective programs for early identifi cation & intervention of youth struggling with mental health.
  3. Participants will walk away with a full Free Tier- 1 suite of resources they can bring back to their building that can impact the students, families, and staff 

Abstract:
This session will explore the importance of creating an inclusive school culture while simultaneously educating students about mental health, depression, and suicide awareness. When a school values mental health as much as physical health, that school's culture can thrive. This session introduces participants to the free and fl exible depression and suicide awareness programs from Erika’s Lighthouse, including classroom curriculum, family engagement, empowerment clubs, and staff development.

Statement of need: Given that roughly one in five children will experience depression before adulthood, the increasing need for mental health education in schools is undeniable
