Our youth need educated professionals who can speak with them about the stress, confusion, and anger their transition into adulthood causes, especially when compounded with racial inequality, sexual minority stress, gender nonconformity, intimate partner violence, or gang affiliations.
This premier TAY training program provides behavioral health professionals and organizations skills, evidence-based practices, and resources to empower youth as they transition into adulthood.
