The Manitowoc-Two Rivers YMCA worker has received a new certification.
Lisa Nething, the Youth and Family Program Lead at the local Y, has officially completed her Youth Mental Health First Aid certification.
This training equips caring adults with the skills to recognize signs of mental health challenges in young people, respond with confidence, and connect kids to the support they need.
Youth Mental Health First Aid training covers topics such as common mental health concerns, how to respond in crisis situations, and how to encourage healthy coping strategies.
The Manitowoc-Two Rivers YMCA praised Nething, noting “At a time when youth mental and emotional well-being is more important than ever, Lisa’s commitment reflects the Y’s ongoing promise to show up for kids in every way we can…By adding this training to her already strong skill set, Lisa deepens the Y’s capacity to care for children across our youth and family programming.”
