Every July acknowledges Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness and increase our focus on the mental health of minority groups.

Mental health issues can affect us all, but often times there are unique challenges that minorities face - especially for children and teenagers.

Check on your family, check on your friends, and check on yourself. Remember help is always there no matter your situation!

Class is almost back in session! This school year YEP! is ready to grow and we hope to see some new faces get involved in the community!

YEP! is a youth-led organization with the goal to promote positive change within our schools and communities here in Douglas County.
