Jewish Family Services and KCteen are partnering to offer teen mental health first-aid training for Jewish youth.
This training from the National Council of Mental Wellbeing teaches teens in grades 10-12 how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among their friends and peers.
The sessions will be facilitated by Rabbi Avremi and Mushky Baron and held in memory of Michael Keleti.
The three-session training program will be held on Oct. 23, Oct. 30 and Nov. 6 at the KCteen lounge (6450 Sprint Pkwy Suite I, Overland Park, KS 66209). Students must register in advance for the training and must attend all three sessions to become certified in the program. Registration can be done at kcjewishteens.org/tmhfa.
More information about this program is available by contacting Jodi Perelmuter at or (913) 327-8259.
