Last week on Regional Radio News, members of the Clinton High School staff outlined a course their students will take at the start of the second semester surrounding youth mental health first aid and a local non-profit is working to partner with those staffers to train their employees.

The Clinton YMCA's Program Director is David Torbert and Monday morning on the WHOW Morning Show, he told Regional Radio News of his plans to partner with Katie Arnold at Clinton High School to train his youth counselors in youth mental health first aid.

Torbert indicates the training will help their staff who deal with youth through programs like Y-Zone, Y-Zone Extreme, and Camp Osage summer camp.

Torbert hopes to coordinate with Arnold and her support staff at the high school to train Y staff shortly after the first of the new year.
