YOUTH AWARENESS CONFERENCE

The "Youth Awareness Conference” came into existence 2010. The vision of the conference is to educate youth and families so that they are prepared, restored, and revived. Our goal is to develop foster youth and other youth in the community by concentrating our efforts on the family as we embrace their spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. We further want to equip young people and their parents with tools that they may need to navigate the challenges they face in today’s society. The focus this year is “Mental Health, Suicide Prevention, Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking – Saving Our Children.”

We aim to promote awareness and educate our community through workshop topics presented by professional experts in their respective fields. The sessions will explore and train regarding the following topics: Mental Stability, Human Trafficking, Self-Esteem Building, Surviving Abuse and Neglect, Trauma Informed Care, STOP (Stand, Tell Observe, Protect) Bullying, Healthy Living, Stranger Danger, Good/Bad Touch, and Suicide Prevention. This conference is for the entire family. Each participant will attend age appropriate sessions for the entire family: children (7 and under); adolescent (8 to 12); teens (13 to 18); young adults (18 to 26) and adults. Our purpose is to educate and inform and to encourage and inspire.
