A8: YYA should be engaged at every level of organizational decision-making, but it takes time to build those structures. That’s why we built this Near Peer hiring toolkit with the @TNOYS ➡️ https://t.co/qhgdNgGdAG #TNOYSTownHall

[Texas Network of Youth Services (TNOYS) @TNOYS]

Q8: How can we better lift up the voices of youth and young adults to help them overcome challenges and achieve healthy development? What are examples of youth voice in action? #TNOYSTownHall

[Healthy Futures of Texas @hftexas]

A6: Ask for help! If you don’t know how to find the resource you need, get in touch with orgs like Healthy Futures, TNOYS, or local nonprofits you know and trust. We will help you find what you need – & you’re not alone. #TNOYSTownHall #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

[Texas Network of Youth Services (TNOYS) @TNOYS]

Q6: Youth and young adults (YYA) often do not have the resources they need for the transition into adulthood. What do YYA need to know about taking care of their health and mental health as they prepare for independent living? #TNOYSTownHall

[Healthy Futures of Texas @hftexas]

Systems-level thinking & action are the key to reducing barriers for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ YYA. There are opportunities to enact changes in big systems, like in Texas policy at the #TXLege, and in small systems, like in individual school districts & at clinics. #TNOYSTownHall

[Texas Network of Youth Services (TNOYS) @TNOYS]

Q4: BIPOC and LGBTQ YYA often face barriers to getting their health and mental health needs met. How can we make services more equitable? #TNOYSTownHall

[Healthy Futures of Texas @hftexas]

A3: Engaging parents & caregivers to prepare them with the tools they need to promote healthy development is a major opportunity. Improving parent understanding of/attitudes towards sex education removes barriers for YYA who need parent consent to participate in sex ed programs.

[Texas Network of Youth Services (TNOYS) @TNOYS]

Q3: What are ways to improve both health access and health education so that YYA can better understand their options and how to stay healthy? #TNOYSTownHall

[Texas Network of Youth Services (TNOYS) @TNOYS]
