MAY LUNCH & LEARN: SCIENCE OF MATTERING
Learn the foundational science of cultivating a sense of Mattering among youth. Mattering is a protective factor that reduces the likelihood of poor mental health and other risks such as suicide and substance misuse. Participants will leave with a grounding in the science of Mattering, explore statewide data, and discuss ways to cultivate Mattering as a primary prevention strategy. This offering is a highlight of a larger training available to partners and communities across the state.
