Grateful for the support and advocacy of the Palo Alto Community Fund for youth mental health.

On Thursday, June 25, nearly 100 community members gathered at the Palo Alto Art Center for a Youth Mental Health Town Hall. PACF was honored to serve as a co-sponsor, alongside partners from the City of Palo Alto - Public Agency, the offices of Santa Clara County Supervisor Margaret Abe-Koga and State Assembly member Marc Berman, Youth Community Service, and Project Safety Net.

The evening revealed something profoundly hopeful: that young people and their well-being matter deeply to all of us, and that lasting solutions are possible when a community works together.

"Showing up may be half the battle,” shares Board President Becky Beacom, who represented PACF at the event. “But when an entire community comes together on behalf of its young people, it reveals something profoundly hopeful: that young people and their well-being matter deeply to all of us, and that lasting solutions are possible when a community works together."
