Attendees represented several area agencies including local banks, Chamber of Commerce, Natural Resources Conservation Services, Soil and Water Conservation District, Pheasants Forever, Farm Bureau trustees and more.
The training agenda included essential information on identifying various mental health conditions and strategies to offer timely and appropriate support. This joint initiative aimed to equip attendees with the tools and understanding required to address mental health concerns within the community. Attendees left the event with enhanced confidence in their ability to positively impact the lives of those facing mental health challenges.
