The Youth Advisory Board’s mission is to give teens a voice within mental health services and encourage them to be mental health advocates in their communities. By learning and sharing tools, teens become part of the movement to reduce stigma and amplify teen voices surrounding mental health. The YAB strives to increase awareness about how mental health impacts teens, healthy coping skills, and how to offer support to others who may be struggling. These goals are accomplished, in part, by meeting with local groups to advocate for and normalize conversations about mental health.

We value YOUR voice. Your voice matters at Youth Advisory Board meetings.

The Youth Advisory Board is open to any Spokane County teen ages 13-18 years old. We meet the third Thursday of each month from 4-6pm, in-person at Lutheran Community Services Northwest Spokane at “>210 W. Sprague Ave, Spokane, WA 99201.
