Strong Minds,
Bright Futures:

A Partnership for
Child Mental Wellbeing

A growing statewide coalition committed to building a stronger future for Pennsylvania’s children. Launched in response to deep concerns raised by families, educators, health professionals, and youth during The Big Thing—a multi-year, community-driven research initiative, led by Children First, the Partnership is transforming how we support children’s mental health in our schools, communities, and care systems.

Across the Commonwealth, children and families are facing growing mental health challenges—but far too often, the systems meant to support them respond too late or not at all. Guided by five essential reforms, the Partnership is working across sectors to remove barriers to care, expand access to early intervention, and ensure that every child can thrive close to home.With Medicaid policies, local collaboration, and a commitment to prevention, Strong Minds, Bright Futures is building a system that works—for families, providers, and the future of Pennsylvania.

Meet the Strong Minds Youth Advocacy Council, 24 young people from across Pennsylvania bringing their experiences and ideas into our work.

They’ll help identify barriers, inform priorities, and speak to what young people need to get support earlier. Because young people know what it feels like to look for support, and their perspectives should help shape what comes next.

Scroll through to know about the council and keep an eye out for individual member spotlights coming soon.
