EMPOWER: Teen-led Initiative Tackling Tough Issues
A group of teenagers in Eastern Jackson County has formed a teen advisory council, EMPOWER, to address critical issues like mental health, suicide prevention, drug overdoses, and bullying. Each teen leads efforts in a key area, with support from prevention specialist Markley Hyatt. Theyve placed anonymous drop boxes for mental health concerns in schools and trained members to carry overdose reversal medication. The group is preparing for a youth-led panel discussion at the Lees Summit Cares Youth Wellness Day. Supporters can help by sponsoring or donating to grow their programs.
