En honor al Mes de la Salud Mental, acompáñenos junto a la Fundación Jordan Elizabeth Harris y la invitada especial Ailyn Corchado, LMSW, LCDC. Nos enfocaremos en comprender las transiciones de la vida: apoyando a los estudiantes al final del año escolar. A medida que el año escolar llega a su fin, muchos estudiantes enfrentan grandes cambios: graduaciones, nuevas escuelas y rutinas diferentes.

Hablaremos sobre los factores de riesgo durante esta etapa de transición que pueden contribuir a la depresión infantil, cómo identificar señales de advertencia en momentos difíciles, y compartiremos estrategias efectivas para iniciar conversaciones abiertas y de apoyo con sus hijos. Además, exploraremos habilidades prácticas de afrontamiento que los padres pueden enseñar para ayudar a sus hijos a manejar sus emociones de una manera saludable y positiva. Esta es una excelente oportunidad para fortalecer el vínculo familiar, aprender herramientas útiles y promover el bienestar emocional en el hogar.

¡No se lo pierda!

Speak Life Community Block Party

Speak Life Community Block Party

Join us for a day of fun, community engagement and education !

The Speak Life platform was created in response to growing suicide rates, especially rates in the Black community. We understand that our target communities deeply believe that the tongue yields power. We wanted a chance to act on this principle and change the negative perception that “speaking or talking about suicide will make it happen”. Our goal is for the power of the tongue to be used to speak life, encouraging those suffering in silence to seek help.

If you would like to be a sponsor for this event or for additional information reach out to LaTasha Jackson at l.jackson@jehfoundationfw.org

We can’t take mental health lightly - we have to take it seriously. Talking saves lives
