One half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14.​ BADGE invites all parents and adolescents to learn about the warning signs of mental health conditions and what to do if you or a loved one show symptoms. ​ Topics will include substance abuse and suicide and may be too intense for young children; parent discretion advised.

Guest Speakers: Ms. Laurie Pepe and Mr. Nick Emeigh​, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Bucks County (https://namibuckspa.org/)
