Happy last day of school, and congrats to our seniors on graduating!!!

While summer is a time to relax and rejuvenate, it can also bring up some anxieties as students lose access to important resources.

Our teen resource guide lists out all the places in Buffalo that offer teens comprehensive and confidential health care. Our community is here for you!

Happy National Adolescent Health Month! 💙

The partners of HOPE Buffalo continue to work collaboratively to support the health, well-being, and future success of adolescents across Buffalo. Through strong partnerships with youth, caring adults, schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations, we have expanded access to confidential and affirming care, strengthened trusted adult-youth communication, and created opportunities for young people to build knowledge, confidence, and decision-making skills that support their health and future goals.

We are incredibly proud of what our community has accomplished together and remain committed to continuing this work alongside Buffalo youth for years to come!

Join us on March 26 for our next CAT Meeting!

We will focus on the role caring adults play in supporting youth well being. Youth participants are encouraged to invite a parent, caregiver, or trusted adult to join them for an interactive session centered on mindfulness, connection, and what it means to be an “ask-able adult.” Together, we’ll explore simple ways families and communities can support young people’s mental health and resilience.
