An Interdisciplinary Approach to Understanding and Addressing Youth Mental Health

Trinity Commons, New York City

Presented by The Door

The Door is proud to announce our inaugural Opening Doors: A Youth Development Summit, a full-day conference that brings together nonprofit leaders, government agencies, and philanthropic allies who champion the well-being of young people across New York City.

This year’s summit centers on a question that is both urgent and essential:
“How are we tackling the youth mental health crisis using an interdisciplinary approach?”

We invite changemakers from across sectors to come together for an inspiring day of keynote speakers, dynamic panel discussions, and interactive breakout sessions designed to explore cross-sector solutions to one of the most pressing challenges of our time.

Whether your work touches education, mental health, housing justice, youth leadership, or workforce development, this is a space for you. The summit will spotlight innovative practices, elevate youth voices, and foster dialogue between those working at the heart of systems change.

Who should attend?
Nonprofit partners, policy advocates, funders, and all changemakers committed to the well-being of New York City’s young people.

We hope attendees will leave the summit inspired, connected, and equipped with real tools and strategies to apply in their work and communities.
