A workshop at Fayetteville Technical Community College's Spring Lake campus was held to discuss youth mental health. The event was led by Alliance Mental Health and hosted by college students, counselors, and community members. The training emphasized the importance of spotting behavioral, emotional, and appearance changes in youth ages 12 to 18. Participants learned that depression and anxiety are among the most common challenges young people face. The eight-hour course provided valuable tools and helped communities like Spring Lake, where transportation can be a barrier, bring resources directly to families. Experts recommend parents creating open lines of communication and safe spaces for their children, reducing screen time at night and prioritizing family activities.
