A CONVERSATION WITH PENNY LEGATE
YES Chief Executive Officer, Patti Skelton-McGougan sits down with former KIRO-7 anchor Penny LeGate to talk about the state of our local youth and their mental health and substance use challenges.
THIS IS LIAM'S STORY
HOW TO HAVE THAT DIFFICULT CONVERSATION
TAKE A STAND WITH KEVIN HINES
Invest in Youth Breakfast keynote speaker Kevin Hines, is a long time advocate of youth mental health services. In the year 2000, Kevin Hines attempted to take his life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. After experiencing a miraculous survival, Kevin now travels the world sharing his story of hope, healing, and recovery.
YOU CAN STILL GIVE!
Now more than ever we need your help to raise $800,000 to transform the lives of youth and families in East King County. The Invest in Youth Breakfast is YES’ only fundraiser of the year, accounting for more than two-thirds of all annual donations. Funds help ensure that ALL children, youth and families, have access to critical mental health and substance use services and programs, regardless of their ability to pay.
$5,000 Pays for one year of life-saving, evidence-based Youth & Family Counseling Services.
$2,500 Provides research-proven skills to manage suicidal thoughts using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
$1,000 Helps a teen struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders begin the recovery process.
$500 Supports recruiting, training, and guiding adult volunteer SUCCESS mentors.
