US Surgeon General

The Office of the US Surgeon General invited YES Institute to a roundtable discussion on mental health for youth in the Pride community.

“Because I was the only Trans youth at the school, the admin shoved everyone who came out my way when I was still learning about my own experience.”

Our Youth Advisory & Leadership Council (YALC) members Neptune, Felix, and Nikolas, shared testimonies such as these around mental and medical health in Miami during this discussion. We are grateful to be with the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy alongside our partners at the Alliance for LGBTQ Youth and Pridelines.
