Event Navigation
Sponsored by The PEAL Center and the PA Parent and Family Alliance for Overcoming the Social Stigma of Mental Health. Seventy-five percent of mental illness occurs before a person turns 24, but when we think of someone with a mental challenge, we rarely picture a child. Join us to learn more about mental illness and its effects on 1 in 4 people, including our children. In the session, attendees will:
- Learn facts to dispel myths and misinformation
- Learn how to be an ally to those living with mental health challenges
- Understand what mental health recovery means
- Learn about mental health supports available for school-age children both in and out of schools
