Mental Health Awareness Month is May, and Northern Door Activism is proud to bring you an important panel discussion on youth mental health & wellness. This event is open to everyone, but is especially geared towards parents and caregivers of children, adolescents and young adults.

We are honored to have several experts and industry professionals on the panel, plus a youth apprentice:
- Ally Bretl, LCSW and STRIDE Provider, Door County Medical Center
- Simon Rabas, LCSW, Door County Medical Center
- Elizabeth Patera-Butz, MA, LPC and STRIDE Provider, Gibraltar Schools
- Symone Sandoval, Sevastopol High School Senior, United Way Youth Apprentice

There will be a panel discussion covering some key questions parents have expressed having more education on, including topics like: anxiety, bullying, social media, smartphone/internet use. If you have your own questions, we will be taking suggestions via written submissions at the start of the event or please email in advance: northerndooractivism@gmail.com.

Thank you to United Way of Door County for the support in planning this event and to Peach Barn Brewing for being the host. This is a family-friendly event and snacks and refreshments will be offered!

We hope to see you at this event which is bringing a local awareness and discussion to the northern Door County communities. Everyone is invited to stay after the panel discussion to meet the panelists and other professionals in the mental health space who will be in attendance.
