Creating and Sustaining Youth Advisory Boards (YABs): A Toolkit for Health and Human Services

This toolkit is designed to assist organizations in developing and sustaining Youth Advisory Boards (YABs) for youth and young adults (ages 14-30). Developed by UMass Chan Medical School, the toolkit is designed and tested to be adaptable to the unique population your organization serves. By incorporating young adult expertise into the design and delivery of mental health services, these boards ensure services are more relevant and accessible to young adults.
