It's Mental Health Action Day! Take action for your family & friends by learning to A.S.K. 👇

ACKNOWLEDGE: Create a supportive space by letting them know you’re here for them.
SUPPORT: Validate their feelings and ask what they need.
KEEP IN TOUCH: Check in regularly to show you care.

Think of it like the "stop, drop and roll" of mental health – an easy way to remember how to support the people you care about!

A.S.K. was created by Active Minds & MTV so everyone can feel confident helping a friend or loved one.

We’ll be there!

If you're a dad and you're not really sure what to expect from Fathers In Focus.... This is for YOU!

Myth vs. Reality:
"A lot of people think dads don't need support like moms do...," but that's not true.

Dads need support too; they just don't always know how to ask for it or where to go to get it.

Nobody expects you to just know what you're doing, every dad is learning as they go... This event was created to give dads a space for just them to have — real conversations, mental health support, and tools & resources they can use.

We encourage you to join us — This Friday, April 3rd, from 4-8 PM at the 4-H Building!
