On February 12, 2022, Youth Alive Participants of the Youth Alive Conference at Collonges could not contain their gratitude and admiration for healthcare workers during the pandemic. After hearing how staff and leaders at the La Ligniere clinic extended healing to many, they crafted beautiful thank you cards with words of encouragement shared along with some gifts to all the staff and health workers at the clinic. Healthy youth committed for service was a lived experience for participants of this Youth Alive Conference in France. Watch the videos and check out the pictures from this experience at the Instagram @youthfullyalive or on the youth alive portal facebook page.

During this pandemic and post-pandemic, many youth and young adults are struggling with their mental health. The Mental Health Talks were launched to provide a safe space for conversations among youth and young adults about the struggles they are facing. Please tune in and share the Talks with your friends. Check the mental health page for links or go to youtube and search for "Youth Alive Channel."

A Youth Alive webinar is planned for Monday, 16 November, starting at 1700 GMT/ 1800 CET/ 19.00 EET time.
