The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will host a virtual training on Wednesday, July 19, from 6 – 7 p.m. ET for parents, caregivers, and families about children’s mental health. This training will focus on anxiety and depression in children and adolescents. This training is a continuation of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) efforts to provide important and useful information and resources about child, youth, and family mental health. This training is co-designed with, and informed by, youth, parents, and caregivers and will feature youth and parent leaders.

This free, virtual training will feature information and resources specifically for parents and caregivers. While it is designed to provide education to parents and caregivers, you do not need to be a parent or caregiver to attend. The training will provide the following:

• Information on anxiety and depression in children and youth from parents, caregivers, and behavioral health professionals;
• Useful skills to recognize and respond to children and youth managing anxiety and depression;
• Information on how to access mental health resources and guidance to help children and families;
• An overview of resources available to support parents and caregivers.

If you cannot attend, the training will be recorded and uploaded to this Parent and Caregiver Resources site along with resources shared during the event. If you have questions, please email us at ParentCaregiverTraining@samhsa.hhs.gov. Certificates of attendance will be available.
