Youth Wellness Initiatives

The Youth Wellness Initiatives (YWI), previously known as the Youth Mental Health and Addiction Champions (YMHAC) initiatives, is a comprehensive, peer-to-peer program that aims to meaningfully engage, empower, and equip youth to become wellness leads in their schools. With support from Adult Allies, Youth Leads will plan, implement, and evaluate health promotion activities within their schools to create a more supportive and resilient school and/or community.
