Announcement Message
The Filipinx Student Wellbeing Conference is a youth-led mental wellness conference organized by former and current students of the Buong Loob: Filipinx Student Wellness Internship. We aim to create courageous learning spaces for Filipina/o/x and Filipina/o/x American identified high schoolers to discuss topics related to Filipinx cultural values, identity, and mental health stigma while centering the student experience. We are inviting educators, administrators, parents, education specialists, and community leaders interested in learning about the current challenges Filipinx identified students are facing as it relates to their mental well-being. This free event is open to students who:
1) Identify as Filipina/o/x or Filipina/o/x American
2) Are in 9th/10th/11th/12th grade
3) Currently enrolled in San Francisco Unified School District
Cost: FREE (Registration ends April 18th or until we reach capacity)
