“Mind Matters: Protecting Our Youth”

Understanding Mental Health to Prevent Youth Violence, Substance Use, and Risk

Mental health plays a critical role in the well-being, safety, and future of our young people. Many of the challenges youth face today, including violence, substance use, and other risky behaviors—are often connected to stress, trauma, untreated mental health needs, and lack of support. By increasing awareness and understanding, families and communities can better recognize warning signs, reduce stigma, and provide youth with the guidance and resources they need to thrive.

The Annual Daryeel Youth Summit in Minnesota brings together youth, parents, community members, and professionals for a day of learning, reflection, and dialogue. Through keynote speakers and powerful stories from individuals with lived experience, including youth and parents, the summit will highlight the real-life impact of mental health on our communities. This free event aims to educate, empower, and inspire collective action to support youth mental wellness, strengthen families, and build safer, healthier communities.
