Breaking News: Young people are creating a plan for how the city and institutions can support youth mental health; a process that calls for institutions to listen and support young people's vision.

Thank you to Darcel Rockett for this illuminating article that digs deep on why it is so important to engage youth in the decisions that affect them most deeply and how their engagement in the Healing Through Justice model can be life changing and affirming.

Come join us at our annual Youth Summit. This year's summit is about co-creating a 5-Year Youth-Led Mental Health & Well-Being Plan for our city. All ages are welcome!
