Friday, April 25, 2025 from 12 PM to 1:30 PM
Research shows young people are facing serious mental health crises and are not finding the support they need. The 2024 Jefferson Civic Leadership Academy cohort engaged with experts, elected officials, and community leaders to examine the state of youth mental health in Erie County, Pennsylvania. The cohort discovered a variety of challenges while identifying key recommendations to improve access and expand care. Join representatives from the JCLA 2024 cohort as they unpack their findings and recommendations from their JES report, "It's Broken, So Let's Fix It: Access and Barriers to Youth Mental Health Services in Erie County, Pennsylvania," and the toolkit website: ErieYouthMatter.
