St Louis County Youth Connection Helpline (Prevention)
BHR’s YCH Presentations are available for youth, teachers and other school staff, and other community members who interact with youth on subject matters such as Emotional Regulation, Trauma Informed Care, Suicide Assessment and Prevention and awareness of the Helpline. Emotional Regulation presentations help students identify the signs their bodies give to indicate they are feeling overwhelmed so they are able to self-correct and includes a self-care plan. Suicide Prevention presentations for students and/or staff meet DESE’s recommendation for annual education. Trauma Informed Care provides education on the impact of trauma on emotional, social and physical health, how the brain functions under stress, and how to help emotionally regulate students in the classroom."
