Volition Franklin sponsored a Youth Mental Health First Aid training on December 10th, 2019.
This 8-hour training was designed to teach participants how to help an adolescent who is experiencing a mental health or addiction challenge or is in crisis. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.
The training was led by Franklin Public School District Student service staff members, Brandi Clauff and Kristin Lorino.
Training participants included representatives from the Franklin Police Department, Franklin Fire Department, Franklin Health Department, and Volition Franklin members.
We were happy to be a part of a training that helped bring local agencies together to learn and help create a better community for Franklin youth.
