Pathways students attend Mental Health Summit

Vivianne, one of the Family Outreach Liaisons at Pathways, collaborated with the Equity and Engagement Department and Whole Child Initiatives to provide a day trip for Pathways students to the We Got This! Youth Mental Health Summit in Denver on October 6. Students did not have class this day, so Vivianne capitalized on that by taking advantage of this opportunity. Sources of Strength was present at this event, which is a curriculum that is supported by Adams 12 Five Star Schools, among many other powerful resources related to teenage mental health.
