National Mental Health Youth Council

Creative Visions is excited to introduce our 2026 Youth Council! This passionate group of young leaders is instrumental in shaping the #CreateConnectCare challenge, ensuring its initiatives truly resonate with the needs and experiences of their peers.

Beyond their advisory roles, these youth leaders are making a significant impact by spearheading mental health community outreach projects and inspiring other young people to share their creative expressions and join the #CreateConnectCare movement.

Have you been inspired by a member of our Youth Council? If one of our amazing council members motivated you to participate, head to our submissions portal. In the “Referred By” section of the submission form, be sure to select the person who inspired you.
