The Women’s Fund of Santa Barbara Presents A Forum on Mental Health Wellness

“Raising Our Kids to Be Healthy and Resilient”

Monday, May 15

In 2021, the U.S. Surgeon General issued a Public Health Advisory on the state of youth mental health: “the challenges today’s young people face are unprecedented and uniquely hard to navigate. And the effect these challenges have had on their mental health is devastating.”

This forum will highlight the work of three 2022-2023 grantees and explore how we can support healthy social and emotional development in young children, mental health well-being from toddlerhood through young adulthood, and the critical therapeutic resources required to heal and nurture youth in crisis.

Presentations by our grantees:

• Storyteller Children’s Center – Family Advocate Program
• Girls, Inc. of Carpinteria – On Campus Mental Wellness Program
• Sanctuary Centers of Santa Barbara – Mental Health Integrated Care Clinic Serving Youth
• Moderated panel discussion followed by Q & A

When:  Monday, May 15, 2023, 4:30 to 6:00 pm
Where: The New Vic, 33 West Victoria Street, Santa Barbara
