Teen Mental Health & Wellness Event
November 5th, 2022 at Mitchell Park Community Center
Solis hosted its first event, the Teen Mental Health & Wellness event, on 11/5/22. The purpose of this event was to raise youth mental health awareness among the teens as well as parents, while also presenting them with available help resources.
Solis gathered many professional organizations in the mental health field, as well as student-led initiatives or clubs. These include Allcove, YCS, AFSP, SafeSpace, SAVE Promise, REEL, Title IX (Gunn), and Paly PRICE. There were non-profit booths, wellness activities, as well as presentations.
One of the organizations that we invited told us that "it is the first event that has mainly youth led organizations in participation, I think what you started is very valuable in empowering and uniting the youth in the community."
