**Student, Parent, or School Staff Workshops:**

YMHC has provided presentations, workshops, and training courses on school attendance challenges to education and mental health professionals and families in provincial, national, and international conferences, and in YMHC training courses, workshops, and presentations. In January 2024, we provided a two-day school attendance challenges training course for a school board with approximately 40 school support professionals. YMHC has worked on the issues of school attendance challenges, and in stay-in-school programs for over 20 years.

YMHC has virtual and in-person workshops and training courses on a range of child and youth mental health issues. Workshops and courses can be tailored to the needs of each school community. YMHC is led by an educator who has taught elementary, secondary, postsecondary, and adult education students in Canada and Africa.
