Young people are making major contributions to addressing challenges in their generation’s well-being, but often, their innovation and activism are overshadowed by stories of the youth mental health crisis.
Behavioral Health Tech, Hopelab, Pivotal Ventures, Resonance Philanthropies, and Manatt are thrilled to co-present the 2024 Young Innovators in Behavioral Health Awards. We believe young people are having an incredible impact and have the potential to do even more! We want to spotlight these individuals and amplify their ideas, voices, and influence.
This award will recognize emerging leaders in the field, help them bring their ideas and influence to the fore, and offer them access to resources and support. Awardees will receive a cash prize and be invited to participate in the Behavioral Health Tech conference (Phoenix, Arizona) on November 5-7, where they will be honored on stage in front of industry leaders from healthcare, digital health, investment, and policy fields.

I met amazing and driven young people who I hope to work with in the future for projects. I also met some of my mentors in person for the first time. This was a great opportunity to connect people in the behavioral health space.
