Youth Advisory Council

Introduction

Welcome to the Youth Advisory Council (YAC) page of Bay Regional Medical Center. We, at Bay Regional Medical Center, take great pride in our commitment to improving the health and well-being of our community. YAC serves as an important component of our mission, aimed at empowering young individuals to actively participate in shaping a healthier society.

Our Mission

At Bay Regional Medical Center, our mission is to inspire and engage the youth in becoming ambassadors of health, fostering a culture of wellness, and addressing the unique health challenges faced by young individuals. Through the Youth Advisory Council, we aim to provide a platform for young people to voice their opinions, contribute ideas, and lead initiatives that promote better health outcomes for themselves and their peers.

Activities

The Youth Advisory Council organizes a wide range of activities and initiatives to address the health needs of young people in our community. These activities include:

Health Education Workshops

In collaboration with healthcare professionals, we conduct informative workshops to educate young individuals about various health topics. These workshops cover areas such as mental health, sexual education, healthy eating habits, and physical fitness. We believe that a well-informed youth is better equipped to make smart choices for their well-being.

Community Outreach Programs

We actively engage with our local community through outreach programs aimed at promoting health and wellness. This involves partnering with schools, colleges, and community centers to organize health fairs, fitness events, and awareness campaigns. We strongly believe in the power of community participation in creating a healthier future.

Advocacy and Policy Development

The Youth Advisory Council plays a crucial role in advocating for better healthcare policies and services that address the needs of young individuals. We actively collaborate with local government bodies, healthcare organizations, and policymakers to ensure that the voice of the youth is heard and considered in decision-making processes.

Peer Support Networks

Maintaining good mental health is essential for overall well-being. YAC assists in developing peer support networks for young individuals to foster a sense of belonging and provide resources for mental health support. We strongly emphasize the importance of destigmatizing mental health issues and promoting a supportive environment.
