Member Event - The Wyman Center: The Opportunity Cost of Inaction: Investing in Youth Mental Health


Date/Time
5/20/2026
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Central
Event Description
What is the opportunity cost if we fail to invest in proactive, upstream youth mental health supports today?

This discussion will examine the role of philanthropy in advancing effective youth mental health interventions, like Wyman’s Teen Connection Project, and the broader implications for communities when these investments are delayed or overlooked.

Panelists will explore the current state of youth mental health, how funders identify priorities and promising programs, and how funders and practitioners can collaborate to sustain momentum for youth mental health investments amid changing policy and public funding landscapes.
