The Josselyn Center is offering a free training session for anyone in our community who works with teens. Whether you’re an educator, coach, volunteer, parent or youth leader, this session is for you.

First, we’ll help you understand what today’s teens are facing. Then, you’ll learn how to recognize the early signs of mental health challenges and substance use. You’ll gain practical tools. Clear language. Real-world examples.

Next, we’ll walk through how to start supportive conversations. What do you say? How do you listen? Where do you turn for help? We’ll answer those questions and more.

Most importantly, you’ll leave feeling confident. Prepared. Empowered to act.

Together, we can create a stronger safety net for the teens in our community. Join us and be part of the solution.
