Millington, TN, is addressing the mental health concerns of its younger residents with a proactive approach, connecting the community via a virtual Youth and Young Adult Mental Health Roundtable set for today. The online event, which will start at noon, provides a broad platform for discussion and seeks to promote awareness around mental health resources for the city's youth and families. It's a collaborative effort, led by Millington Municipal Schools Board Member Debby Clifton and supported by partners like Shelby County Community Services and the Shelby County Youth & Family Resource Center-YFRC.
The upcoming roundtable is a sequel to a previous dialogue held last month, with the aim of building on the foundations laid during that conversation. According to the social media post by the Millington Municipal Government, the session will "serve as a follow-up to last month's conversation, offering a chance to hear what we learned, share next steps, and highlight available resources for Millington youth and families." The agenda includes dissecting the efficacy of existing support services, ensuring these resources are accessible, and recognizing areas needing further investment and development.
Ensuring community involvement, the link to join the virtual roundtable will be available on both the City of Millington website and its Facebook page. Moreover, to accommodate those who can't participate in real-time, a video of the roundtable will be accessible post-event, allowing a broader community to engage with the material at their convenience.
