Convening a Conversation to Address Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing

Who We Are

Coalition to Empower our Future is seeking to convene a conversation to better understand the many contributing factors surrounding youth mental health and wellbeing – including but not limited to social isolation, device usage, family and economic instability, exposure to violence, lack of independent play, among others – to identify fully informed solutions that support young people, families and communities.

Our Coalition Partners

The Coalition to Empower our Future aims to bring together a broad range of voices and perspectives, including mental health experts, parents, youth, nonprofit representatives, industry leaders, educators, policymakers and others, in a coordinated and urgent manner.
