Have you ever talked to your kids about race or racism? Do you believe it is an important conversation to have? Come find out about how not having this conversation can send a clear message to kids that the topic is taboo and off limits. Participants will leave the workshop with conversation starters, a list of books to help learn more about diversity, and an awareness of why the topic is important to talk with kids about. Join Carlos Wiley, Director of the Paul Robeson Cultural Center for this engaging Straight Talk Session.

Meet YANA - Jana Marie Foundation's newest Stomper! YANA was created by youth and community members throughout the state of Pennsylvania and was sponsored by Youth M.O.V.E. PA and Systems of Care Partnership.

The unveiling will take place during the May 2017 Youth M.O.V.E. PA Mental Health Awareness Day in Harrisburg.

The Stompers Project(R) by Jana Marie Foundation is a unique community project designed to break down barriers and stomp out the stigma that surrounds mental and emotional health. To learn more visit www.stompersproject.org.

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.
