UF Health St. Johns is pleased to announce that the 5th annual BRAVE Summit is scheduled for Wednesday, March 26, 2025 at The St. Augustine Amphitheater. The Summit aims to open a dialogue with teens and address the stigma associated with mental health while encouraging teens to learn how to foster mental wellness.
With more than 1,400 attendees last year, we hope to make an even bigger impact on young people this year.
This will be a FREE, LIVE event accessible to all high school students across Florida.
Why Should You Attend?
The Summit will provide a safe place to talk to other high school students and support professionals about mental health topics while normalizing conversations about mental wellness. Hear from and talk to some of today's most captivating speakers, artists and content creators. Participate in a poetry contest, submit art of your own creation, learn what resources are available in your community to help you cope when things are difficult, identify coping strategies and more.
This year we have some very special guests joining us! We are excited to bring these incredible artists and speakers to Florida for this uplifting and energizing event!
