Youth Health Advisor Team COVID-19 Response  

In the Summer of 2020, the YHA team created a video to encourage young people statewide to practice public health safety against the COVID-19 virus.

In February 2021, the Youth Health Advisors released a survey to their peers statewide. This survey was designed to get feedback from young people on changes in their lives physically, socially, academically, and emotionally during the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Youth Health Advisor team is proud to release the report of these survey findings along with a video presentation. For more information or to contact the Youth Health Advisors, please email Brianna Session Brianna.Session@dhhs.nc.gov
