Youth at Risk: Finding Solutions Together

The Nine Network of Public Media has partnered with the St. Louis County Children’s Service Fund to help people find solutions to issues that affect the mental health and well being of young people in our region. The purpose of the partnership is to connect young people in need to the free resources available through our local agencies and to create better understanding of the issues and the positive impact of effective, integrated mental health care services on our community.

Room at the Inn is one of 13 agencies selected to be a part of this intitiative. For more information on our services, please click here.

On November 4, 2011, Youth at Risk partnering organizations screened their digital stories. Videos that serve to help our community better understand how effective mental health care positively impacts the community.
