Youth Mental Health Equity Forum
Attend the Youth Mental Health Forum on May 14
In recognition of May’s Mental Health Awareness Month, Johns Hopkins Medicine Howard County Medical Center, in partnership with Urban One, invites you to a special Youth Mental Health Forum. This one-hour virtual event will take place on Wednesday, May 14, 2025 at 5:00 p.m., and is designed to open up an important conversation around mental health in our youth.
A panel of mental and behavioral health professionals will discuss the most common mental health disorders affecting young people today, explore treatment options, and address the barriers families face when trying to access care. The forum will be moderated by Pastor Keith Battles, bringing compassion and insight to this critical discussion.
It’s free, it’s virtual, and it’s for everyone who cares about the well-being of our youth.
