The Youth SAVE Learning Community aims to foster a collaborative space to share knowledge, learn new strategies, and discuss best practices to support youth and young adult mental health.

This is a virtual gathering exclusively for individuals who have previously attended a Youth SAVE training session. Together, we can enhance our skills, build our networks of support and collaboration, and develop more effective suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention strategies to strengthen our communities.

Watch this video for more information about the Black Youth Suicide Prevention Coalition (BYSPC).

The Black Youth Suicide Prevention Issue Brief from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) addresses Black youth suicide and explores prevention strategies. It highlights the importance of community engagement in addressing the needs of Black youth. The BYSPC exemplifies how “community-based” efforts, like building connections and offering safe spaces, are important.
