Asian Women for Health is excited to join Tufts CTSI and the ADAPT Coalition for the 10th Annual ADAPT Community Health Symposium, bringing together community members, young people, researchers, clinicians, educators, and community-based organizations.
This year’s theme, Youth at the Forefront: Mental Health, Belonging, and Digital Wellness, explores the challenges young people face today and how communities can create stronger, more responsive systems of support. The symposium will center community and youth perspectives while exploring mental health care access, belonging and civic leadership, and the growing impact of social media, technology, and AI on youth well-being.
AWFH at the Symposium
We’re especially excited that Asian Women for Health will be participating as part of this year’s program, including on panels throughout the day. Our team will share perspectives from our work alongside AANHPI young adults and communities, including what we’re learning about mental health, belonging, peer support, and creating spaces where young people feel heard and supported.
Additional speaker and panel details will be shared as they are announced.
