Avila University Social Work Program

So proud of JTNL’s very own Jarion Champ!

The City of Kansas City passed a resolution recognizing May as Mental Health Awareness Month. Jarion was recognized alongside other certified Mental Health First Aid instructors as Councilmember Crispin Rea championed it.

Jarion trains our staff and community members to recognize a mental health crisis and step in the right way. That work has a ripple effect at JTNL and beyond.

Thank you, Jarion and thank you to Councilmember Rea for lifting up this work!
