Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed for parents, care- givers, teachers, school staff, neighbors or any other caring citizen. It is designed to give skills to help an adolescent (13-18+) who is experiencing a mental health or addiction challenge or is experiencing a mental health crisis. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescence and teaches a 5-step action plan to help youth both in crisis and non-crisis situations.
As a parent you are asked to navigate a nonstop lifestyle
of juggling priorities and demands. Every parent wants to do the best they can for their child. We know that positive experiences and factors strongly influence how well your child develops. Likewise negative experiences or influences aren’t good for your child’s development. You can think of your child’s life as a scale, and the things stacked on either side shape your child’s development. Resilience is having a scale that’s tipped positive even when a lot of things are stacked on the negative side.
Come to this workshop and discover which factors are tip- ping the scales toward resiliency for your child. Learn how to stack up positive factors and off-load negative factors. Work with other parents to map out resources within your school and community. Leave with a better understanding of resilience, skills for enhancing resilience, and a resource grid for supporting resilience.
Microaggressions are a small slight that causes hurt and pain. Oftentimes when they happen, people are unsure how to respond, so anger, hurt or resentment can build up. Learn how to name and identify microaggressions so you can better manage your interactions.
At the Kolo Flow Bike Summer Camp, campers will ride on purpose-built mountain bike trails and skill elements designed for all levels of rider to experience flow on a bicycle. Kolo Bike Park is a great way for young riders to build confidence and skill in a controlled environment. Other activities include use of an outdoor swimming pool and indoor activities such as bicycle movies and games on bad weather days.
The camp is for kids age 6-13 years who can comfortably ride a two-wheel bicycle. Some off-road experience is recommended but not required. The camp runs weekly from 8:30-3:30 June 12 to August 18.
The itinerary for each day is generally as follows – though the order may change depending on weather and/or group dynamics:
Helmets are required anytime your child is on a bicycle. Campers will need to bring a packed lunch and any snacks they may need. Some snacks are available for sale at the Bike Park such as chips, pretzels, Clif, Honey Stinger, ProBar products along with PowerAde and SanPellegrino. Plenty of cold water is available for free on site, but each child should have a water bottle that can be carried on the bike. Campers should arrive “pre-sun-screened” if desired. Counselors may not be asked to apply sun screen. A swim suit and towel will be needed to participate in pool time. A plastic bag to store wet clothes after swimming is recommended.
Prices are for BYO-Bike. If a rental bicycle is needed, arrangements must be made separately in advance by calling Kolo Bike Park at 828.707.4876. Price for the camp with a rental bike is $350 per week.
