Did you know that youth with even one safe and responsive adult in their lives report significantly fewer mental health-related concerns? Active Minds is dedicated to helping ensure that all youth have a Champion. Youth Champions, those dedicated to creating healthy social, emotional, and academic growth for youth, have a deep impact on positive youth outcomes including mental health. The value of this role demands supportive learning spaces dedicated to their personal and professional development including content focused on their mental health. We will dive into what it means to make meaningful connections with youth and ways to mobilize with them around mental health.

What You'll Learn
In the hour-long dialogue, participants will:

Gain an understanding of the four main attributes that characterize a Youth Champion
Explore the data-backed impact of Youth Champions on the mental health and positive life outcomes of youth
Brainstorm what interpersonal work we may need to do to strengthen our own Youth Championship
