Congratulations to Missouri’s graduating pre-service educators!

We are especially proud to celebrate those Youth Mental Health First Aiders and QPR Gatekeepers who were trained as part of our MHAT project.

Your commitment to student well-being matters, and the impact you make will extend far beyond the classroom.

Hats off to our graduates. We can’t wait to see the difference you make!
