Health and Human Services Day

• Objective: To gain knowledge and understanding of what is happening in the healthcare arena and to heighten awareness of preventative strategies for health.

On the December class day of the program, students interact with, engage with, and learn from local health initiatives that aim to empower and strengthen the health of Shelby County youth. Students can ask questions about topical issues (such as mental health) that matter to them and their classmates, leaving their first YLSC class with a renewed motivation and understanding of how they can help their peers be more mindful about their personal health and wellness.
