In an effort to prioritize the importance of youth mental health, Young Minds Initiative (YMI) seeks to provide access to mental and behavioral health services to youth in Fountain Hills and the surrounding communities.
Organized by Fountain Hills residents, YMI consists of two main components: pocket-sized resource cards with general and emergency mental health resources for youth and young adults and a website containing similar resources in addition to studies, statistics and more.
YMI is the product of Rory Wilson and Annette Mary, classmates and graduates of the eight-week-long Fountain Hills Leadership Academy. After graduating from the academy, Wilson continued with the project to its current execution.
