2019 - Young Minds Matter: Communities Connecting for Well-being

Young Minds Matter: Communities Connecting for Well-being was a free, one-day training event for people who care about children, youth, families, and caregivers. This event theme grew out of the foundation’s new strategic direction, which focuses on changing community conditions and the root causes that contribute to poor mental health, especially in communities that have been subjected to bias and discrimination. Like previous Young Minds Matter conferences, we focused on children, transition-age youth, and their caregivers, and explored the many ways communities can promote well-being, including mental health in everyday life.
