Mental Health in the Workplace
Join us April 8 for an important and practical Lunch & Learn designed for business owners, managers, and team leaders who want to better support the well-being of their employees. This session will focus on building confidence and providing real-world tools to help navigate mental health in the workplace—without the expectation of being an expert.
We’ll explore simple, effective ways employers can create a supportive work environment, recognize when someone may be struggling, and engage in thoughtful, supportive conversations. Attendees will also gain insight into available resources and referral pathways, including substance use support and the Substance Use Navigator role at TTUSD.
Additionally, we’ll discuss what support can look like following a difficult situation, while maintaining appropriate and healthy workplace boundaries. As a lead-in to Mental Health Awareness Month in May, this session will leave you feeling more prepared, informed, and equipped to support your team when it matters most.
The Truckee Chamber’s Lunch & Learn series offers practical, timely education for local business owners, managers, and professionals, all in a relaxed, mid-day setting.
These sessions feature knowledgeable speakers and subject-matter experts who break down complex topics into clear, actionable insights you can use right away. Topics vary throughout the year and may include workforce and HR updates, marketing and communications, finance, legal considerations, leadership development, technology, and emerging trends impacting our local business community.
Lunch & Learn is designed to be interactive, approachable, and relevant, with time built in for questions, discussion, and connection with fellow Chamber members and community partners. Whether you’re looking to stay compliant, sharpen your skills, or gain a fresh perspective, this series makes professional development accessible.
Lunch & Learn is free for all Truckee Chamber members and lunch is included, but please register - click here.

Hope Week
Tahoe Truckee Unified School District’s Hope Squad Programs will be celebrating "Hope Week," during regular school hours during the week of March 16-20, in an effort to raise awareness of suicide prevention and mental wellness.
Hope Squad students have organized "Hope Week” projects across the district to allow for their peers to take part in activities that promote hope; including hope grams, friendship bracelets, give/get hope post it banner, kindness letters , education on coping mechanisms, 988 and resource outreach, hall decorations, music in the schools, and more! This year, students at Creekside Charter School, Alder Creek Middle School, Truckee High School, North Tahoe Middle, and North Tahoe High Schools are very excited to get a visit from Drew Petersen with age appropriate presentations and assemblies related to “Feel It All.”
Outside of our school sites, this week-long, community-wide effort will bring together local businesses, mental health agencies, and local non-profits with the goal of destigmatizing mental health issues and empowering community members to ask for help when they are in an emotional crisis. Join us at a community film screening in Truckee or Tahoe City.

Peterson had been a longshot after the first round, sitting in fifth place, but he brought the house down with his legendary second jump. “This is the best day of my life,” he told KTVB after the competition.
