Mental Health America's 2022-2023 Young Leaders Council recently released their annual report, "Challenging, Sustaining, and Evolving: An Anthology on Youth Mental Health Advocacy (and Hope)." This anthology is a reflection on the complexities that young people are confronted with in the world of mental health activism, as told firsthand by members of MHA's YLC. Join us to learn what it means to be a young person in advocacy spaces and the truths that often go unspoken - the victories, defeats, hope, adversity, and everything in between.
During this 60-minute webinar you will:
- Hear from individuals about their experiences as youth leaders in advocacy spaces and the challenges and unmet needs they still face
- Understand how adult allies in advocacy spaces can better affirm and empower the young people they work with
- Learn more about the youth co-design process behind the report, including insights that can inform other youth-led projects
