About YAC

The YAC was founded with a bipronged approach in mind. On one hand, we hope to accomplish awareness; research indicates that the stigma associated with mental health illnesses further compounded by lack of awareness, resource availability and guidance for the vulnerable communities. Mental health illness ramifications include substance use and in turn negative outcomes and mortality.

Youth empowerment and engagement, would not only decrease mental health and substance use opportunities, it would also provide for a successful community.
