May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The Tillamook County Suicide Prevention Coalition will be having a variety of events throughout the month to support our community. The first event is Thursday, May 7th, from 3-5pm at the Tillamook Main Library and is focused on youth mental health in honor of National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day.
Join us in learning about Youth Mental Health Self-Care. The youth that attend are welcome to create and take home a mental health self-care kit. Youth ages 13 and up are welcome to attend without a parent or guardian present, yet younger youth should attend with a parent or guardian. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend without youth to learn ways to support youth and pick up some resources. Youth must be present to make and take a kit please as supplies are limited. (We will be having similar events for adults later in the month.)
We look forward to supporting our youth and their caregivers on May 7th at the Tillamook Main Library.
