Free Training on Youth Mental Health

Start the Spring off right with quality professional development for your staff! Research shows that youth learn best when we attend to the whole person. Strengthen your program’s youth development practices to better support the social and emotional needs and the mental health of the youth you serve. CalSAC has 20 training topics available as part of the OST Wellness Network project—free to programs in the Bay Area, Sacramento, and other select counties and available on a low cost, fee-basis throughout California.

Browse the available Mental Health and Wellness training topics and request a training for your staff at your program site, or contact Hannah at hdavidman@calsac.org with questions.
