The community is invited to join the South Lake Tahoe Community Mental & Behavioral Health Cooperative for the 4th annual forum at South Tahoe High on Tuesday, May 9 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

This is a free event and parents, caregivers, educators, coaches, therapists, clinicians, and volunteers are encouraged to attend.

The morning event will be facilitated by Michard Ward and is hosted by the Barton Health Foundation.

• Uncover common stressors that are impacting our school/work
and personal life
• Address resiliency in our community
• Learn how to take time out to address your own resiliency
• Tools and local resources provided to improve access

There will be small group activities as well as information that helps people focus on being resilient so they don't get to the point of a crisis and how to get help along the way to good mental health.

Also during the event will be a TedTalk video on Mindfulness.

Mental health is part of life: coping with diversity and teaching skills on how to bounce back.

The forum is part of Mental Health Awareness Month.
