    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $25,000

    Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago (PHIMC) seeks funding to expand the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance’s youth leadership work through the “Building Resilience: LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health and Leadership Program”. This initiative, led by the Youth Advisory Board (YAB), aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of LGBTQ+ youth to promote positive mental health within their communities. The project has three primary goals: Goal 1: Increase the knowledge and skills around positive mental health among Alliance YAB members. Goal 2: Refine current Alliance’s workshops and develop new youth-led workshops that integrate learned skills to share with LGBTQ+ youth and peers Goal 3: Goal 3: Promote positive mental health with a broader audience through creative ways identified by YAB. Through this program, YAB members will gain leadership skills and a deeper understanding of coping mechanisms and incorporate this knowledge into workshops. This will promote a youth-centered and trauma-informed approach and foster a stronger sense of community and support among LGBTQ+ youth. This project centers LGBTQ+ youth experience and aims to empower YAB members to continue their work in promoting LGBTQ+ liberation, mental well-being, and a brighter future.
