May 2024 Newsletter

This Mental Health month we want to celebrate all those in our four towns who have partnered with the "You Are Not Alone" mental health campaign! With your help stress reduction, local and crisis resources are available with a scan of a QR code. With over 50,000 scans in its first 3 years, we hope to continue the momentum. We have signs at beaches, barbershops, parks, businesses, etc.

 

Our first signs were homemade wooden signs under our old name "Chariho Youth Task Force", which may need to be replaced due to weathering. Have you seen a sign that is difficult to scan?

 

Do you have a new location idea where these resources could be needed?

Chariho Regional School District is pleased to offer a free Youth Mental Health First Aid training to any interested Chariho community members. This training will be led by two trained Chariho staff that are also District Youth Mental Health First Aid trainers.

 

Our next open community training is Saturday May 4th from 8:30am-3:30pm. This training will be held at Chariho High School. Learn more about this training HERE.
