It was a Party in the USA at the samhsagov Youth Summit in Washington, D.C. last weekend! ๐บ๐ธ๐ฅณ PreventEd invited four teens in the St. Louis area that have demonstrated leadership in substance use prevention and mental health discussions to attend the summit. Our students and their group focused on the need for improved mental health curriculum for students and school staff, and received the chance to present their solutions for improving behavioral health as a participatory action team!
We are so proud of our students and thankful to prevention educator Emma Wilson for guiding them through the event! #SAMHSAYouthSummit
