​Welcome OCMH's 2026-27 Youth Mental Wellness Champions!​

Once per month from September through May OCMH's second cohort of Youth Mental Wellness Champions meet to learn about mental health and well-being and provide important feedback to OCMH. These 15 high school Juniors and Seniors from across the state were selected in a competitive application process. The 9-month program will culminate on May 13, 2027 at the State Capitol in an event where each Champion will present a poster on a mental health topic important to them.  

We are proud to announce the OCMH 2026-27 Youth Mental Wellness Champions and their high schools:
