One in five youth struggles with a diagnosable mental health challenge. Anxiety, depression, and suicide are at their highest rates ever and campers and staff are not immune from these challenges. Shame and guilt, especially in the Christian community, can be barriers to seeking care and lead to increased isolation.

During this call, participants will learn strategies to create a nonjudgmental and compassionate environment that encourages campers and staff to speak about their challenges and begin to heal. Participants will learn practical tools to help campers and staff feel seen, heard, and understood and increase their overall wellbeing and functioning at camp.
