YouthWell

Donate to this organization

Mental health education, early intervention, advocacy, and collaboration are the pillars of YouthWell’s work. YouthWell seeks to simplify access to mental health and wellness resources for youth through age 25 and their families, making solid connections through warm handoffs. Services are free and provided in English and Spanish. YouthWell provides an online Youth & Family Mental Health & Wellness Resource Directory, a Community Calendar, Family Care Coordination & Wellness Navigation, Support Groups, Youth Advocacy Board, and monthly Wellness Workshops.

The YouthWell Community Collaborative and the Youth Linkages Network includes 50 engaged partners and convenes quarterly. Through these partnerships, they aim to drive systemic change, close service gaps, and remove barriers, ensuring that every young person has access to the care and support they need. Addressing youth mental health requires collective action. No single agency can meet these needs alone. Success depends on strong partnerships among our healthcare providers, schools, families, funders, county agencies, and business community – working together to break down silos and create an integrated system of care.

TeenTix Los Angeles

TeenTix LA exists to break down the barriers that prevent teens from accessing art in our community, such as ticket or admission cost, not knowing where to look for events, navigating transportation around the city, and feeling insecure around arts-going if there’s no one in their lives already championing the arts.

TeenTix builds a bright future for our region by empowering young people to take an active role in shaping their arts community as audience members, critics, influencers, advocates, patrons, and leaders.
