What is the Youth Summit?

The Portland National Youth Summit is a one-day gathering of 35 to 40 mental health and systems-experienced youth and young adult leaders. The Summit is being planned and facilitated by a national board of peers, and hosted by the Research and Training Center on Family Support and Children’s Mental Health in Portland, Oregon.

Peer-led activities will focus on youth uncovering common shared experiences, gaps in youth-focused services, priorities and strategies for service and system change, and research and resource needs.

As a product of the Summit, youth will work together to outline a Call to Action that reflects the day’s discussions and decisions.
