What is it all about?

We know many factors influence physical and mental health, including access to information and care, education, support systems, stability, and a sense of belonging. We also know that youth in the Appalachian Highlands deserve the best foundation we can give them.  

Individuals, educators, and organizations who serve youth are invited to join us for a summit that will build skills, forge community connections, and introduce new ways of thinking about adolescent health. Attendees will participate in workshops and working groups and have opportunities to visit and present at information tables.  A light breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages will be provided.

More information about presenters, registration, and possible CEUs coming soon. Find us on Facebook to get the most up-to-date information. Have questions or interested in having a table? Contact shOUTcoalition@gmail.com.
