Washington’s First Teen-Led Mental Health Summit!
Washington’s First Teen-Led Mental Health Summit is a student-driven and action-oriented event rewriting the typical narrative in the field of mental health to ensure youth are not just included in mental health conversations, but actively shaping solutions. Too often, discussions about youth mental health happen without youth in the room. This summit redefines history.
For the first time in Washington state, this summit is uniquely planned and led by youth (grades 6-12) in partnership with prominent leaders in healthcare, education, and public policy. Every session is designed with real-world impact in mind, equipping attendees with tools, resources, and connections they can take back to their friends, families, schools, and communities. The event is designed to be engaging, accessible, and inspiring, creating a space where change begins. At the end of the day, this summit aims to move beyond conversation and into action, ensuring that every student knows they are not alone and that action starts with us.
