The Department of Health Services (DHS) has partnered with UW-Whitewater and Youth MOVE, a national leader in youth voice, to provide a FREE leadership academy for young adults (ages 18-25) August 5-6, 2017.

The goal of this event is to help participants identify and develop their capacity to lead. This event is designed specifically to support young adults who have lived the experience of mental illness and/or substance use disorder and wish to use this experience in leadership and advocacy positions.

This event will be held at UW-Whitewater. Transportation is available. Participants will be staying in a UW-Whitewater dorm room with one other person (unless they specify otherwise). All meals will be provided.
