    This week YMPA's Sources of Strength team is in Maine to receive their training which will allow them to bring this awesome evidence-based program to schools all around Pennsylvania! They're hard at work learning all they can to bring the best quality of training they can to our young peers and the school staff who support them.

    While our staff work hard, they also play hard. Want to see what they're up to in real-time? Be sure to follow all of the fun adventures on our Facebook page! 

    Here's a sneak preview: May be an image of 5 people and textMay be an image of 3 people, people smiling, people studying, table and text

    Are you as excited as they are? You should be!

    It's always been one of our goals to reach youth in schools because we know that school is the place we spend much of our time as we grow into adulthood. A lot happens there and it can be hard to find emotional support when we need it most. Especially if we don't have access to support outside of school .

    Youth MOVE PA is finally ready to tackle school-based mental health and support young people where they're already at! Be on the lookout for opportunities to bring Sources of Strength to a school near you!

    Understanding Co-occurring, where it begins, and how it grows.

    • When a mental health issue exists, whether diagnosed or not, we will learn how we are at risk of substance addiction.
    • And why a substance abuse addiction can trigger a mental health issue.
    • Often youth using drugs and alcohol are too young to understand or believe they are at risk of addiction.
    • Remember, there is no getting off this road once you have gone down it. You may be able to control your addiction/mental health issue, but it will always be with you, waiting for an opportunity to knock you off the wellness wagon.
