Adults Working with Youth

Mental Health First Aid: Adults Working with Youth teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders in youth.

This eight-hour training gives adults who work with youth the skills they need to reach out and provide initial support to children and adolescents (ages 6-18) who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to appropriate care.

First aiders will be required to complete a two-hour, self-paced online class before participating in a six-hour, instructor-led virtual workshop.

• Feb. 25, 1-4 p.m.

• Feb. 26, 9 a.m. to noon

‘Dining with Diabetes’

People who want to learn how to better manage diabetes now can take a webinar offered by Penn State Extension.

“Dining with Diabetes” is a diabetes education program taught by extension educators across Pennsylvania. It is geared toward anyone who has Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, has a family member with Type 2 diabetes, or is at risk for developing diabetes.

The webinars will be held from noon-1:15 p.m. on March 9, 16, 23 and 30. A follow-up will also be held on June 1.

The course is divided into five sections: what is diabetes; meal planning, serving sizes and carbohydrate counting; heart-healthy eating; medications, monitoring, and goal setting; and dining out.

The sections are designed to be viewed individually, so participants can choose the order in which they move through the course.
