Start the day with an insightful keynote presentation by PA Youth MOVE, Kevin Purskaric & Zoe Small

Teenagers are putting an end to mental health stigma.
To do it, they’re telling their own stories – unfiltered – in the documentary film and teen-hosted podcast series OUR TURN TO TALK.  From skyrocketing rates of anxiety and depression to the impacts of racism, social media, and the pandemic, their struggles and triumphs carry a powerful message: Storytelling saves lives.

Check out these engaging Youth, Young Adult and Family Sessions!
