Young Minds Matter: Transforming Our Communities Collectively
Young Minds Matter: Transforming our Communities Collectively is a free convening co-hosted by the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health and Prevention Institute. The 2023 conference featured some of the most vibrant minds and cutting-edge strategies for collaborating with children, youth, and families as decision-makers and leaders in community transformation.
Past Conferences
2021 - Young Minds Matter: Healing, Justice and Connection for Mental Wellbeing
The Hogg Foundation held a free virtual event for people who care about children, youth, families, and caregivers. Like previous Young Minds Matter conferences, the focus was on children, transition-age youth and their caregivers, with an added emphasis on engaging historically excluded and underrepresented groups.
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.
