This trauma-informed training equips parents, educators, and trusted adults with practical tools to discuss mental health, suicide, substance use, and relationships with teens. Using the BRAVE framework (Breathe, Relate, Ask, Validate, Explore) and OARS communication skills, participants learn to foster trust and remain present in emotional situations, prioritizing connection over correction to support young people in seeking help without diagnosing or escalating issues.

• Speak up when something feels off
• Navigate discomfort without shutting down
• Address concerns early instead of letting them escalate
• Communicate with courage and professionalism
