Bridging Knowledge to Care Conference – Youth For Change

The Bridging Knowledge to Care Conference will be taking place from May 19–21. This three-day event is a knowledge mobilization and community engagement initiative aimed at increasing awareness, prevention, and access to culturally responsive substance use supports for Black youth.

The conference will bring together youth, families, clinicians, researchers, and community partners to engage in meaningful dialogue, reduce stigma, and strengthen referral pathways to services. It will include a series of panel discussions and interactive sessions on topics such as substance use and coping, cultural identity and healing, harm reduction, faith and wellness, and systems-level solutions.
