For Supportive Adults
Supporting youth mental health is a collective effort, and YouthLine relies on supportive adults in teens’ and young adults’ lives to be in person help when they need it. We know that having a trusted adult to go to when they are struggling is one of the main protective factors against youth suicide. We invite supportive adults to review the pages below to learn more about promoting mental wellness for the youth in our lives!
