When you hear "First Aid for Dumpster Fires" I hope you know what we mean: 

A realistic look at the hard work of managing emotions and mental health in today's challenging environment. 

It's hard for adults.  It's hard for teens too.

The Queer Collective and Youth Leadership Academy of Central Arkansas Pride are partnering once again for a Saturday afternoon mental health workshop on Nov. 15th in Little Rock.

Parents and Teens, YOU are invited to join us and two of professional counselors to:

1) Rest and reflect - eat snacks and consider challenges to your peace of mind

2) Move into a teens and adults breakout group to work with licensed professionals to work on destressing, conversation tools, anxiety management, and talking through potential stressors (like finals, the holidays, or managing social media/news intake).

3) Returning to a big group to practice a few simple grounding exercises. 

We plan on having food, water, handouts, resources and some tools to give away! The goal is to leave feeling renewed.

It's perfect for you and your youth to attend together, or separately - and definitely gives you a discussion item for a later conversation.

Be proactive on your mental health!  Join us! Free to attend.
