Assistant to the City Manager Kristin James introduced Tyler Barry who presented
Council with the Youth Advisory Committee's project--mental health and our community.
The committee believes mental health is an issue that affects the entire community and
needs to be addressed at all levels. The consensus of the committee is to utilize
resources (city and independent school district) to reduce the stigma and increase
awareness by providing education, and creating a culture that is conducive to open
discussion. This can be achieved by offering training opportunities to teachers during the
summer months; student programs that address mental health (similar to "Shattered
Dreams"); and education for parents to recognize the signs of mental health problems.
City Council and members of the Youth Advisory Committee discussed existing
opportunities to assist the Youth Advisory Committee in advancing their program.
Council directed the Youth Advisory Committee to continue the project to the following
year.
