Foster Youth, Resilience, and Mental Health Post-Pandemic


Tuesday, July 27, 2021 at 7:30 PM EDT

Myles Bess from Above the Noise will host a panel of Bay Area youth and their advocates to address the need for mental health resources and solutions to get through the next year. For many teens — especially foster youth and others with limited support systems — the stress of readjusting to a range of social experiences, uncertainty about school and activities, mourning lost milestones, and challenges accessing needed mental healthcare will require immense resilience. Through a range of lived experience and a data-dive into statistics about the mental health toll of the recent extended isolation among young people and effective responses, the panel will highlight tools to become your own best advocate and seek the support you need.
