This year, the Health Care Authority's (HCA) Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) Prevention Section and leadership had to make the unfortunate decision to not hold an in-person Spring Youth Forum (typically held in May at the Great Wolf Lodge) given a variety of factors, including negotiating with a new logistics vendor and navigating budget needs. This annual event provides an opportunity for youth across the state to present on youth prevention projects they have implemented in their communities.
Conference chair Tony Edwards-Lenton has shared some amazing ideas to continue to celebrate youth locally! Watch for updates on the Spring Youth Forum website and The Athena Forum to see youth teams recognized!
