The Mental Health Youth Bill of Rights was initiated during the 2009 Portland National Youth Summit by a team of 28 national youth leaders experienced with our country's current mental health system. Our vision is that the Mental Health Youth Bill of Rights will be endorsed and clearly displayed in every doctor's office, counseling center, and organization that services youth, ages 14-25, with mental health needs.

In an effort to have as many voices contribute to this Bill as possible, please take a few minutes to review the following sections and add your comments. Thank you for doing your part to make youth voice in systems of care a reality!!
