The Vault in Clinton Using Mental Health Awareness Month to Focus on Teen Relationships

A Clinton non-profit aimed at providing a safe place for teens to congregate is using 'Mental Health Awareness Month' to focus on relationships.

 

Michelle Witzke is the Founder and Community Connections Coordinator for The Vault in Clinton and on the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, told Regional Radio relationships are front-and-center for every teenager and how to navigate them so they are focused on how to deal with relationships of all types.

 

 

According to Witzke, Clinton Junior High Principal Jim Peck will speak with students about perspective and his experience of a long-term relationship as a teenager.

 

 

A group called 'Growing Strong' will speak to the kids about sexual violence and finally, Officer Mike Bennett will talk to the kids about the legalities of introducing sex to a relationship. Witzke says sex has become far too normalized for teenagers.

 

 

Witzke says this will highlight 'Mental Health Awareness Month'. The program is next Tuesday, May 10 beginning after school until 6 pm.
