FAIRMONT Martin County 4-H Ambassadors will be hosting a free virtual seminar for area teens from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. The seminar will focus on mental health and well-being.
Specifically, the 4-H Ambassadors will focus on helping their peers find healthy ways to cope with the stress, anxiety, and disappointment caused by the pandemic.

We were hoping that if kids participate in this they will take away the thought that even though there’s these tough times, they’re going to make it through and it’s going to be alright in the end and that we’re all in this together.”
