Over the past 10 years I have been very pleased to support the Healthy Youth Network as a Strategic Partner along with Public Health, Hamilton Board of Education, City of Hamilton and more in the true definition of collaboration. This is an important conversation for all of us to have with youth about empowering them. It is essential for everyone to support their mental health. Join me and let’s see what we can do together.”
