Parent Education

What types of education do we provide parents?

Throughout the year we hold educational events on the YES system of care and parenting youth with mental health challenges. Topics vary according to parents’ expressed needs. Our yearly May conference has included topics on advocacy and learning about the CANS (Child and Adolescent Needs) Assessment. If you have an idea for an event, please let us know!

When are the events?

We try and sprinkle educational opportunities throughout the year. You can count on an annual conference for parents during May. The best places to keep up to date with what we are offering are our monthly newsletter (join at the bottom of the page) or our events calendar. Here are a few places you might learn about prior events:

  • FAM (Family Advocacy Meeting)
    12:00 PM-1:00 PM
    February 22, 2024

    Families interested in learning more about the YES system of care and ways to become involved are welcome to join this public meeting on the 4th Thursday of each month.

    Each month we will hear from a program, resource partner, agency, or service of the YES system of care to learn more about how they impact YOU – our Youth and Families using YES- and how they can help you carry the load of dealing with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) or mental health issues for yourself or a family member. State H&W Reps for the YES system also attend FAM.

    If you would like an email invite, please contact Wendy Margolis at Wendy.Margolis@dhw.idaho.gov or FYIdaho at info@fyidaho.org
