Ending the Silence OLD

Ending the Silence (ETS) is an engaging presentation that helps youth, their families, and youth-serving staff learn about the warning signs of mental health conditions and what steps to take if someone is showing symptoms of a mental health condition.

These presentations include two leaders: one who shares an informative presentation and a young adult living with a mental health condition who shares their journey of recovery. Audience members can ask questions and gain understanding of an often-misunderstood topic. Through dialogue, we can help grow the movement to end stigma.
