AYS - Mental Health Awareness Workshop
During this workshop, The NAN Project Peer Mentors will share their lived experience with mental health challenges, as well the supports they were able to access and the coping strategies they have employed to find a path to recovery. These stories create a safe space for staff, faculty, and community stakeholders to ask questions about mental health, and the strategies that work to engage youth who are struggling.
