With youth suicide rates and depression on the rise, particularly in marginalized communities, urgent action is essential. This panel will shift the conversation from crisis to empowerment, focusing on youth resilience and innovative solutions that are driving change in mental health and wellbeing.

Panelists will explore the social and behavioral drivers behind youth mental health, offering holistic perspectives on how to better understand and support young people. The session will also introduce key findings from the Youth Mental Health Tracker (YMHT)--a collaborative initiative from Pivotal Ventures, MTV, and Surgo Health--gathering critical data from 8,000+ U.S. youth, designed to challenge deficit-based narratives and fuel equity-driven solutions.

Join this powerful discussion, where experts and youth voices will share insights and strategies to promote youth well-being and create lasting impact, from national policy to community action.
