At Please Pass the Love, we understand the dire need for more mental healthcare workers in order to meet the diverse and intersectional needs of Iowa youth. Because of this, PPTL has partnered with the Office of Latino Affairs and AEA Online Learning to create two online modules for high school students. Our goal for this pilot program is to increase access to mental health resources for high school students, as well as careers in the mental health field.

These modules are designed to be one hour long and completed asynchronously. The purpose of this project is for all high school students to get the same evidence-based information to better understand their own mental health, as well as what is possible in the mental health field. For now, we are starting small in a pilot stage, and hope to launch the program in 2023.

 This pilot program is not a substitute for mental health or medical treatment.
