What if part of the answer to the youth mental health crisis lies not only in clinics, but also on basketball courts, in locker rooms, and at community centers? At #AspenIdeasHealth, Dr. Sidney Hankerson joined leaders from elite sports, community-based foundations, and clinical care to explore exactly that. His top three takeaways: 1. Engage the community and let youth lead the change, particularly around suicide prevention. 2. Apply the ABCs of community engagement: identify the places where young people feel alive, experience belonging, and feel safe to have honest conversations. 3. Look beyond the traditional healthcare system to empower youth and connect them to care. #AspenIdeas #MentalHealth
