Welcome Back, YHC!


Good morning YHC Members!

Thank you so much for all who attended our Welcome Back Social yesterday! We loved seeing new faces and showing you all what we have in store for the Spring Semester. I wanted to pass along a very interesting meeting with the Youth Advisory Board (YAB) and the Ybor Youth Clinic (YYC) that I highly recommend you attend!

They will be hosting an entirely virtual meeting THIS FRIDAY 1/23 from 12PM-1PM exploring their opioid prevention initiatives! This event is open to anyone, but I would encourage you to register below to learn more about the YYC and how we can support them with this new initiative.

They will be brainstorming ideas for 2026 activities, upcoming trainings, the return of YAB workgroups, and would like to hear our thoughts regarding opioid prevention, sexual health, HIV prevention, and overall wellness.

Meeting Details:
Date: Friday, January 23 from 12PM-1PM
