Join us for a facilitated panel featuring a discussion with local Boise teens about the pressures teenagers face, the impact it has on their mental health, and what they wish adults understood. Together, we'll identify actionable ways to better support our youth. We're thrilled to be partnering with Optum Idaho, Communities for Youth, NAMI Idaho, Boys & Girls Club, St. Luke's, BPA Health, Boise School District, the City of Boise, and other community partners.
This event is part of the larger community-wide initiative for youth mental health calling on all organizations, parents, families, business leaders, youth, and other community members to work to build the best possible community for our kids. Communities for Youth has been leading this effort here in Boise in partnership with Boise Schools, St. Luke's Community Health & Engagement, and the city of Boise Mayor's office. IRP has closely coordinated with Communities for Youth for WIWYK to integrate Boise-centric youth mental health data and to recruit teens to be a part of this effort.
