Hear from agencies supporting youth mental health in Kitsap County. We are meeting with the Salish Youth Network Collaborative and Kitsap Mental Health Services to learn:
- Who to call in a behavioral health crisis
- What supports are available during and after a mental health crisis
Training participants will learn:
1. How communication supports and choice opportunities foster self-advocacy, specifically for non-verbal individuals.
2. Self-advocacy is especially important for students with autism and is necessary to achieve a higher level of independence, confidence, and a sense of identity.
3. Learn that advocacy from parents and guardians has been the trailblazing efforts that have made and changed policies on a local, state, and federal level.
Learn about the services Alta Vista ILS offers people with developmental disabilities.
