UCDavis Tahoe Talk: Building Resilience in Youth

Promoting resilience is key to supporting healthy development in youth, yet currently, there is a decline in youth resilience across the United States. About 1 in 4 youth develop a mental health disorder which can lead to poor school outcomes, risky behaviors, self-harm and even suicide.

Join the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) on February 7 for a rich discussion about trends in adolescent health, and how we, as parents and community members, can help. By supporting youth in developing protective factors, we can bolster their resilience and help them thrive.

Presenters include:

- Mark Servis, M.D. Psychiatrist is Vice Dean for Medical Education at the UC Davis School of Medicine.
- Kathleen Tebb, Ph.D. Developmental Psychologist is an Associate Professor at UC San Francisco in Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine.
-Peter Mayfield, Founder/Executive Director Gateway Mountain Center, has been a social entrepreneur and innovator in nature-based youth development for 35 years

Registration for this event is required. The program will begin at 6 p.m. with refreshments and no-host bar from 5:30 - 6 p.m. at 291 Country Club Drive in Incline Village (between Tahoe Boulevard/SR 28 and Lakeshore Blvd.) on the campus of Sierra Nevada College.
