Youth and Young Adult Resources
Below key organizations, web pages and information for youth and young adults are linked for you (coming soon!).

Youth MOVE National is a youth-driven, chapter-based organization dedicated to improving services and systems that support positive growth and development by uniting the voices of individuals who have lived experience in various systems - including mental health, juvenile justice, education, and child welfare.
Members of Youth MOVE National work as a diverse collective to unite the voices and causes of youth while raising awareness around youth issues. We will advocate for youth rights and voice in mental health and the other systems that serve them, for the purpose of empowering youth to be equal partners in the process of change.
