The For Global Youth, By Global Youth: Navigating Mental Health Advocacy in an Ever-Changing World conference focuses on what young people can do to empower themselves and others for the future of mental health. With an inclusive space for educational and collaborative opportunities – through a virtual format of keynotes, panels, workshops, and networking – the event offers opportunities to gain knowledge and skills while hearing from other young people who are at the forefront of mental health advocacy. Our goal is to provide the tools and inspiration to empower young people to advocate for a better future for those living with mental ill-health and make change in their communities.
