Youth M.O.V.E. Idaho
Virtual Drop In Center
In our new virtual drop in center, youth from across Idaho are able to socialize online, decompress, and connect with peers in a safe “space”. Youth M.O.V.E. is free to all participants. While this is not a therapy group, we can offer additional resources for youth struggling in their own mental health challenges.

FYI Children's Mental Health


This will be a space for parents of youth with mental health challenges. We want to provide information to help you navigate your child's needs, to find resources in your community, and let you know what is happening across Idaho for youth with mental health challenges. We have some great conversations on mental health crisis management, suicide prevention, and navigating school resources.
 
We hope you will join us weekly on your podcast app of choice.
