Event focusing on mental health for adolescents and young adults is Nov. 17 at high school

The Lake City Suicide Prevention Coalition will host “Minding Your Mind: Just Talk About It” on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at Lincoln High School, 300 S. Garden St.

The evening will begin with community resource tables in the school foyer from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The program will follow in the auditorium from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Tom Horner, M.Ed., regional director and program facilitator, will discuss signs and symptoms of mental health concerns common in adolescence and young adulthood, including how they may differ from typical teenage behavior.
