Adolescent Resources
Young people are struggling with isolation during the COVID. There is peer support available with MY LIFE virtual meet-ups.
We know that for young people who already struggle with mental health, substance use, foster care, and/or other challenges, their difficulties could intensify in isolation due to social distancing.
These youth are not alone.
They are invited to participate in the Stay Home for MY LIFE Virtual Youth Fest activities.

This free event features an exciting line up of inspirational speakers, uplifting entertainment, fun activities, information and resources. It’s designed for youth and young adults, ages 13-23, who have experience with mental health, substance use, foster care and/or other challenges, and those who support them (including parents, caregivers, and providers).
Magellan’s MY LIFE (Magellan Youth Leaders Inspiring Future Empowerment) is leading the way nationally for youth involvement in behavioral health and foster care systems. Through regular meetings, special events, performances, social media, and local and national presentations, youth share their stories and support each other in their recovery goals.
