On October 9, hundreds of students and educators will gather at the City Club for the second annual Mental Health Matters Youth Summit. This isn't just another school trip. Its a day set aside to pause, connect, and focus on mental health in ways that feel real and relevant.
Our theme, SPEAK YOUR PEACE, is an invitation. For students, its a chance to share your truth, challenge stigma, and imagine new ways to support each other. For educators, it's a chance to step back, reflect, and pick up tools to care for your own well-being while also championing your students' health.
Together, we'll build community, spark ideas, and leave with energy to make change that lasts beyond the summit!
There are still space left to join us. For more information about bringing your students, contact Ariana Smith at arianasmith@cityclub.org.
