• Provide ideas on program and service improvements to better serve parents/caregivers and children/youth;
• Engage with your communities and champion Strong Minds Strong Kids programs and services;
• Make use of your connections with other parents and youth to ensure programs and services continue to align with the mission of nurturing resilience in kids/youth;
• Implement learnings of Strong Minds Strong Kids programs and services with young people and fellow parents/caregivers to expand the reach of the programs;
• Provide insights that are reflective of current trends, needs, and interests of families.

We are looking for parents and caregivers with children or youth ages 0-17, who can commit to meeting online 4 times per year for at least one-year commitment. The first meeting for the Advisory will be on Jan 21st 4pm EST.
