The Filipinx Student Wellbeing Conference is organized by a "Youth Contingency" composed of past and present interns of the Buong Loob: Filipinx Student Wellness Internship, a youth mental health education program co-sponsored by the Filipino Mental Health Initiative of San Francisco and San Francisco Unified School District's Office of College of Career Readiness.
Students of the Youth Contingency engage in a series of project-based learning activities to determine the wellness needs of SFUSD's Filipinx high school student population, identify culturally responsive mental wellness organizations/practitioners to address those needs, and create humanizing spaces of learning in the form of a conference. |
