Your support of Adolescent Health Working Group means so much to us. This event helps AHWG continue to support communities impacted by COVID-19 and the many families that are feeling particularly isolated. Youth who rely on schools for mental health support, safety, food, and freedom to express themselves remain our priority.

Thank You to Our Amazing Speakers

Special thanks to Lisa Mihaly, Sasha Simon, Robert Francoeur, Michelle Williams, and Tiffany Lambright for speaking at the event.

We are fortunate to have the opportunity to work with AHWG’s advisory board members. Their guidance, creativity, and leadership fortify our organization.
