PHIMC’s inaugural Youth Health Conference aims to engage young people and their champions across Chicago in strategy conversations around health-related topics, including substance use prevention and education, mental health, LGBTQIA+ health, violence prevention, HIV prevention and education, and justice involvement.

We invite Chicago-based youth, community-based organizations, healthcare providers, youth development organizations, schools, city agencies involved in health programs, and public health practitioners to join us for a unique conference that will center the voices of young people by offering peer-led learning experiences, engaging youth in the conference design, and recognizing that healthcare does not just take place in the doctor’s office.

PHIMC currently leads three programs connected to youth health: The Alliance, Chicago’s Regional Substance Use Prevention Integration Center (RSUPIC), and the School Health Access Collaborative (SHAC). The Youth Health Conference will build on the work of these programs and empower youth across Chicago on issues related to social drivers of health.
