Youth Partnership

 

The FSO of Mercer County needs dedicated youth who want to make a difference in their community. The group meets once a week. Caregivers are responsible for transporting youth to and from the meetings.

The purpose of this group is to educate the community about mental illness in youth, to advocate for youth with mental illness, and to help eliminate the stigma of mental illness.

To qualify to be part of this very important group the youth must be between the ages of 13 and 17, and be affiliated with the CMO. Youth must have maturity level that will enable them to responsibly participate in the program. They should have a desire to educate the community about mental illness in youth, and be able to work under the guidance of a Youth Partnership Coach.

Anyone interested in participating in this group should contact Kelly Mich at 609-581-6891 ext. 308 or by e-mail at kmich@fsomercer.org.
