Staff from the 8E Nyman Family Unit for Child & Adolescent Mental Health and Wellness (8CAP) will be hosting an event to help raise awareness for children's mental health. Patients, family and staff are welcome to join us in conversation and learning regarding mental health. We will be teaching participants how to create crisis kits, discussing crisis and safety planning, and will have resources available for those who would like more education, who are struggling with their mental health or who knows of someone who is. All are invited to stop in, even if for just a few minutes to say hello!
