The course is designed to teach parents, family, caregivers, teachers, school staff, health and human service workers, and any other caring citizens how to help a child between 12 and 18 years old who is experiencing a mental health or addiction challenge, or is in crisis.

The course is open to the public, and participants must complete two hours of pre-work, then attend the in-person training from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 24 at Mountain Valley Bank in Steamboat.
