Jewish Leadership Academy Promotes Youth Mental Health

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Hope for Miami wants to highlight one of our key partners, the Jewish Leadership Academy. This school has trained their teachers in Youth Mental Health First Aid and then offered the Teen Mental Health First Aid course to selected teens. This training will enable teens to effectively reach their peers who may be struggling with mental health challenges. In the video above is a Story of Hope from the staff at Jewish Leadership Academy about the assistance and impact of Project Bridge. 

Hope for Miami’s Project Bridge can bring this program to any school, parent group, or youth organization in Miami-Dade County. If interested, contact Hayly Ojeda at hayly@hopeformiami.org.
