MONROE - Local nonprofit groups have partnered to bring Jeff Yalden, a noted national motivational speaker, to Monroe in February to speak to Green County teens, with an additional presentation for adults. Bullying prevention, depression and suicide prevention in teens, as well as supporting teens, will be the focus of Yalden's presentations.

He is the author of "Your Life Matters" and was featured on MTV's "MADE" as a celebrity life coach. He has spoken to school and community groups across the country, and has podcasts and a weekly radio show.
He will be speaking to middle and high school youth from eight area school districts in daytime presentations Feb. 25-27.
Parents and other adult community members may attend a free presentation by Yalden at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 25 in the Monroe High School Performing Arts Center.
