Free Webinar: Mental Health in You(th)
Date Posted: 4/11/2024
In 2021, 22% of Texas high school students seriously considered suicide, with approximately 10% reporting an attempt. Understanding the landscape of mental health and the need for compassionate response in our educational communities has never been greater.
Join us online at 5:30 p.m. CT April 17 for “Mental Health in You(th),” a free event featuring Dr. Madhukar Trivedi, an internationally recognized professor of psychiatry at UT Southwestern and the founding Director of the Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care. Dr. Trivedi will co-present with Dr. Tobi Fuller, a former classroom educator and the center’s clinical research manager and project lead for the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC) Youth Aware of Mental Health (YAM) Program. The webinar will include a presentation followed by a live Q&A session. Attendees will also learn about free statewide resources and programs dedicated to mental health and wellness.
This ATPE/UT Southwestern-presented event is open to all Texas educators, and live webinar attendees will earn one hour of continuing professional education (CPE) credit.
