Snohomish County Human Services announced that the Youth Suicide Prevention Taskforce is hosting a “You Are Not Alone” conference on February 3, 2024, at Rosehill Community Center in Mukilteo. The conference is focused on building resiliency and providing youth and families the tools needed to support youth mental health and combat suicide.
“You Are Not Alone is a community outreach event sponsored by the Snohomish County Youth Suicide Prevention Task Force,” said Greg Kanehen, Executive Director of Marysville Crisis Support Services. “Rising concerns in mental health, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation among our youth are driving factors in creating this “mini conference” event for the community free of charge. Designed for parents, youth workers and high school teens, this event provides excellent resources, insights, and networking opportunities. Through these sessions, skills and strategies will enable growing success and holistic health in our county. I’m excited and grateful for these sessions being offered and wholeheartedly recommend individuals coming.”
Free food and refreshments will be available for all attendees. A full schedule of events is available here.
