Youth Student Chapter

At EVOLVERE Mental Health, we are working to evolve the ways that students understand and support their mental health by curating a collective space where students can build community and be connected to resources that fit their needs.

Our Youth Student Chapter is working to achieve this mission by connecting with students to:

Build a community of high school students
Curate mental health-centred conversations that highlight high school students' perspectives on mental health
Support the proactive prioritization of mental health throughout the semester
Collaborate with peers, advocates, clinical professionals, and community-based organizations to design campaigns to facilitate mental health awareness and education
Advocate for student mental health
Gather qualitative data to understand peers' pain points about student life and the transition from secondary to post-secondary life to inform their development of supportive resources
