Progression is a course focusing on young people between the ages of 15 and 21 who are dealing with mental health issues. The name, Progression, alludes to its purpose of empowering young people with information and tools to advance towards their dreams and goals.
Topics include information about mental health issues, resiliency and recovery, supports and allies, self advocacy, transition issues and much more. This is a chance for young people to gather and learn about these issues from those that have been there.
Progression is planning on expanding statewide and is currently held in the following areas of the state:
Salt Lake
Box Elder
