Building Bridges to Youth Mental Health in San Diego
Every young person deserves access to wellness, hope, and opportunity.
About
We’re an initiative that’s designed to bridge gaps in mental health awareness, access, and support for youth in San Diego. At its heart, the goal is to ensure that no youth in our community feels alone in their struggles, and that every young person has a bridge to wellness, hope, and opportunity.
Empowering Youth Through Opportunity
Our initiative awards two scholarships that support youth who are leading, learning, and uplifting their community through mental health awareness and advocacy. Recipients will work under professional supervision from the International Vietnamese Mental Health Association (IVMHA) to ensure high-quality, culturally sensitive programming.
Additionally, all scholarship recipients will be honored at the annual San Diego Tết Festival, celebrating their leadership and commitment to community mental health.
Leadership Workshop Scholarship
Three $4,000 scholarships available for exceptional youth leaders ready to make a difference in mental health awareness within the AANHPI community.
Workshop Participation Scholarship
Ten $400 scholarships will be awarded to dedicated youth who assist in developing and delivering mental health workshops.
