– All About Connections Suicide Prevention training
     The NOCC will be at Oxford High School from August 13th to August 15th, and Lake Orion High School from August 19th to the 22nd during schedule pick-up week, sharing information about the programs we run throughout the year and how to get involved with the coalition. We will share more information about our Youth Action Board as well, and how students can get involved and make a difference at school!
     Do you have a high schooler who is interested in mental health, volunteering, or working to make their community a healthier place? Youth Action Board might be right for them!

Throughout the school year, YAB members work together to create school-wide initiatives to promote a mentally healthy, substance-free environment. Members will meet new friends with common goals and help to plan super fun school activities!

The best way to stay up-to-date with Youth Action Board is to follow us on Instagram! To follow the Lake Orion Page, please click here. To follow the Oxford Page, please click here.
     The NOCC will be at Cookies & Cream on August 6th from 6:30-8pm for their C&C Kids Night series! Stop by with your kids to participate in a fun craft, learn more about the coalition, and even get some free sprinkles on your ice cream!
     September is Suicide Prevention Month, and the perfect time to host an All About Connections Suicide Prevention training. This 90-minute training will educate your employees or team on the warning signs and clues of suicidal ideation and/or mental health crisis. After completing the training, you will be more equipped to recognize crisis, and how to guide someone to the help they need. Each training is taught by an experienced, certified instructor, and each team member trained will receive a certificate of completion.
