We want to celebrate the mental health awareness work that so many people are currently doing. The Youth Issues Coalition, a local MSU Extension Service committee, promotes mental health awareness. A link to access mental health resources was recently created on the Broadus.net website. Parents can access phone numbers, websites and resources for a variety of mental health needs including crises and immediate help, self-care tips and parenting resources. Also available at Broadus.net is a link to a searchable database of mental health care providers from across the state.

Celebrate mental health awareness and promote physical activity.
