Expanding Mental Health Support for Youth | Washington DC News

Northern Virginia nonprofits and George Mason University are launching an expanded suicide prevention training program for youth, equipping students and community members with life-saving skills to support mental health in schools. Inspired by the tragic loss of Ryan Bartel, this initiative trains 30+ participants—including university and AmeriCorps members—in evidence-based strategies to recognize and respond to mental health crises. With a growing demand for trained advocates, the program aims to build a stronger, more responsive network within school communities to save lives.
