The Appalachian Children Coalition's Youth Well-Being Summit
April 29, 2025 — 8:30am to 1:00pm
The Appalachian Children Coalition, with featured support from AndHealth and Matt and Meara Scantland, and additional funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is hosting its spring Youth Well-Being Summit on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Stuart's Opera House, 52 Public Square, Nelsonville, OH 45764.
Join us for a half-day summit to access valuable resources, build meaningful connections, and discover solutions to better support youth. The summit will focus on three key areas: Data & Information, School-Based Services, and Prevention. Whether you're an educator, health professional, community leader, or passionate about youth well-being, this summit offers valuable insights and networking opportunities to enhance our collective ability to support and empower young people.
The day will begin with a Data Walk. Participants will be broken into random groups to exam multiple data points and answer questions around youth and family well-being based on the information shared. We will then go into speaker sessions to share tools and resources to further support your work.
