Coalition to Empower our Future

As America’s youth face a rise in mental health and wellbeing challenges, the Coalition to Empower our Future is dedicated to convening a comprehensive conversation on the multifaceted and complex factors contributing to the state of youth mental health.

Social Wellness Month reminds us how important social connections are for young people. Helping young people build positive relationships in their community can support their mental health and wellbeing.

If we focus on just one aspect of the youth mental health challenge, we risk overlooking the comprehensive solutions that are needed to support children, their families and their communities. empowerourfuturecoalition.com/?utm_source=x&…

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to addressing the youth mental health and wellbeing challenge. Join us as we convene a conversation and better understand how we can work together to empower and support our youth. bit.ly/4lUl8oA
