Navigation of the teen years in everyday situations can create angst and uncomfortable feelings that are difficult to express. Adding mental illness and mental crisis to a teen or young adult’s typical growth and development makes struggling with emotions\, relationships\, academic success\, and safety more challenging. According to the CDC\, rates of depression and anxiety climb significantly during the ages of 12-17. Suicide is the second leading cause of death of youths in the United States. This module opens an introductory discussion of mental health among teens and young adults with guidance from an adult educator. Focus is placed on decreasing stigma\, improving mental health literacy\, and positive coping skills for teens and young adults. The module showcases a high school agricultural student’s understanding of the agricultural mental health crisis\, helping to frame mental health distress to academic and future career success. \nObjectives: After the module\, teens and young adults will be able to…. \n\nUnderstand the relationship of mental health to physical health and academic or career success\nRecognize basic signs or symptoms that present when young adults experience mental stress\nIdentify healthy and unhealthy coping behaviors when faced with mental distress\nCommunicate their concerns when suspecting they or someone they know is experiencing a mental health crisis\n\nIntended Audience: This Train the Trainer course is designed for teachers\, Extension staff\, 4H and FFA leaders and others who work with young adults. \n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

This is especially true on farms and ranches where inherent farm hazards such as machinery and equipment\, livestock\, and agriculture chemicals are displaced and co-mingle\, putting all emergency response personnel\, farm workers and family members in danger. Floods can heighten the risk of health threats such as mold\, tetanus bacteria\, contaminated well water\, heat illness and high stress. This presentation will highlight basic precautions to prevent possible diseases and injuries during and after flooding. \nObjectives: At the end of the presentation\, attendees will be able to: \n\nIdentify common human health risks faced during a farm flood.\nDiscuss prevention tips and injury prevention for common human health risks.\nIdentify special considerations for working with livestock during a weather event.\nDiscuss steps involved in developing a disaster preparedness plan and how to safety active a response.\nDiscuss appropriate respiratory personal protective equipment needed during flood recovery.\nIdentify warning signs for behavioral and mental health during and after recovery.\n\nIntended Audience: All individuals living/working on farms and ranches affected by flooding. \n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.
