Colorado High School Athletics Association Now Requires Mental Health Courses for Coaches

A new mandate from the Colorado High School Athletics Association will now require all coaches to take an online course on mental health.

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control says suicides for teenagers and young adults between the ages of 15-24 is up by 51%.

Teen suicide in El Paso County has been a large problem in recent years with one of the highest rates in the nation.

The hope is with all the time kids spend playing high school sports, their coaches, with some training, may be able to spot young people who need help.
