EveryDay Strong is here to help you support children’s mental health.
Trainers are available to share techniques that will help kids and teens connect with and feel supported by adults in their life.
What is it?
EveryDay Strong is a program created by United Way of Utah County in response to a rise in mental health symptoms in Utah teens. Designed to teach adults better communication techniques and enable them to strengthen their children’s mental health, it follows a pyramid of care to help a child feel safe, connected, and confident.
Who is it for?
Caring adults who interact with children ages 8-18.
What will I learn?
- How to get a child to talk to you
- Ways to support a teen’s motivation and emotional health
- How to ask a teenager questions that will improve your relationship (without causing them to shut down)
- Ways to apply tools to everyday situations
