StAMINA, the Student Alliance for Mental Health Innovation and Action, is a student group founded by a Manual senior that’s driving the movement to improve youth mental health. For the past year, StAMINA has been conducting a comprehensive research study about the state of youth mental health across Kentucky. StAMINA is hosting an exciting new event called the Youth Mental Health Ideathon based on the results of the study.
The event, on Saturday, Sept 15 from 9 AM – 5 PM, will incorporate a structured “design-thinking” model to guide community stakeholders to brainstorm and develop the most promising ideas for new policies and programs that address a specific challenge area in Kentucky youth mental health services.
