Youth Council Travels to Albany for Mental Health Matters Day!

A few members of our Pelham Together Youth Council traveled to Albany for Mental Health Matters Day to advocate for more resources and policy related to youth mental health. They heard speakers from different NYS positions and advocates from other schools, and spoke individually with their elected officials, Senator Nathalia Fernandez and Assembly Member Amy Paulin. From advocating for more resources to ensure 988 stays well staffed, to Teen Mental Health First Aid, to local partnerships between schools and community organizations to making sure all kids have access to mental health care, these kids made Pelham proud today.

Not only was the sun shining, but so were these young leaders! There is so much hope for our future when we let youth speak and advocate for change!
