UPCOMING EVENTS
Upcoming Events
At YouthWell NH, we believe that building a stronger community starts with coming together. These events are designed to educate, inspire, and empower youth, families, educators, and community members while promoting positive mental health, resilience, and meaningful connections.
Throughout the year, we support a variety of events, workshops, community gatherings, and awareness initiatives that provide opportunities to learn, connect, and support one another. Whether you’re attending to gain valuable resources, hear inspiring stories, volunteer your time, or simply show your support, every event helps strengthen our mission of creating healthier, more connected communities.
We invite you to join us at one of these upcoming events and become part of the YouthWell NH family. Together, we can break the stigma surrounding mental health, encourage open conversations, and make a lasting difference in the lives of young people throughout New Hampshire.
Check back often for upcoming events, registration information, and opportunities to get involved. We look forward to seeing you there!
Together for Better Behavioral Health
We invite parents, caregivers, educators, healthcare professionals, community leaders, and anyone passionate about supporting children and families to attend this important event.
Together, we’ll explore innovative approaches, share valuable resources, and discuss how collaboration can strengthen behavioral health supports across our communities. Your voice and participation can help shape a brighter, healthier future for families in Coös County.
Together, we can build stronger communities by supporting children and families every step of the way.

Empowering Prevention - Strengthening Communities
Join us for this special day of prevention, community networking and supporting our youth. RCFY Prevention Summit is always a very well attended event of the year and brings together RCFY partners from across NH and in all disciplines (business, law enforcement, health care, schools, parents, youth.) It is an opportunity to provide education, awareness, resources and support to everyone present on the issues facing teens today in regards to substance misuse and mental health prevention and support.
The morning will feature several presentations on current issues impacting youth and how we can work together as a community to support them. There will be a keynote speaker, presentation by RCFY Youth Action students and an overview of data and the issues RCFY is working together to bring awareness to. The summit is an opportunity to share resources and information to better serve the community RCFY serves.
Prevention work continues to be a most valuable asset to support a healthy future for our young people. Once upon a time we were trying to keep youth safe from alcohol, tobacco and marijuana. Today we need to educate people of all ages on emerging Unregulated Intoxicating Substances, including Kratom and High potency THC, as well as Fentanyl and Methamphetamine.
