Each academic year, 15 high school Juniors and Seniors with varied lived experiences across Wisconsin will be selected to participate in the Youth Mental Wellness Champions Cohort. Members will engage in monthly virtual meetings to expand their knowledge, skills, and network. The cohort model will provide a space where student leaders can share their perspectives and recommendations to influence the work of the Office of Children's Mental Health (OCMH) while also building peer connections. To celebrate their learning, Youth Mental Wellness Champions will present posters to state leaders during an in-person completion ceremony in May.
