The Pennsylvania Youth Mental Health Summit is a virtual summit gathering school-based and community mental health professionals, youth, policy-makers, and other vested partners to dialogue, share and lead in addressing Pennsylvania’s growing mental health crisis, through awareness and cross-systems partnership and tiered supports.
Through a series of panels and videos, the Summit will identify key areas of policy reform, effective practices, and networks of support for students in and beyond the walls of school and across a lifetime.
