About

Technology is rapidly transforming how we support youth mental health. From AI-enabled counseling tools and peer support platforms to innovative apps for substance use treatment, digital solutions are creating unprecedented opportunities to reach and serve young people. At the same time, realizing this potential requires navigating complex questions and forging new partnerships across sectors.

This Summit will convene leaders from technology, healthcare, payers, philanthropy, government, education, research, and youth organizations for a highly interactive program focused on solutions, partnerships, and action.

Guiding Questions

How can we build sustainable payment models and market signals for effective youth mental health technology?
What does the emerging evidence tell us about what works, and how can we accelerate adoption of proven interventions?
What regulatory and evidence standards are needed to ensure digital tools for youth are safe, responsive, and accessible?
How do we meaningfully engage young people as co-designers, testers, and implementers of new solutions?
What models of public-private partnership can speed innovation, reduce duplication, and ensure access at scale?

What Makes This Summit Different

Rather than traditional panels, the format emphasizes collaboration and real-world problem-solving:

Hackathon-style small-group sessions tackling pressing challenges
Curated case studies, co-selected with youth, that surface practical lessons
A pre-summit youth design sprint to shape priorities
A closing commitments session identifying tangible next steps

Youth Leadership at the Center

Youth leaders will play a central role throughout the program, ensuring that lived experience and authentic partnership inform every discussion.

Outcomes

Participants will leave with:

New cross-sector partnerships and collaboration models
Actionable strategies to advance youth mental health through technology
Policy-relevant insights to inform future practice, research, and funding

Looking Ahead

This Summit will be the first in a series of planned National Academies activities on youth behavioral health technology. Early participation offers a unique opportunity to help shape the direction of this emerging field and build connections that will continue beyond the meeting.

About

The National Academies’ Board on Children, Youth, and Families held a webinar sharing the key findings from a new report, Early Relational Health: Building Foundations for Child, Family, and Community Well-being.

Early relationships are foundational for lifelong health, learning, and well-being. Mutual, meaningful, and affirming moments of connection in the youngest relationships support brain development, resilience, and social-emotional growth. These experiences, known as early relational health (ERH), can also buffer the impacts of adversity and help create pathways toward thriving children, families, and communities.

The new report Early Relational Health: Building Foundations for Child, Family, and Community Well-Being provides evidence-based opportunities for advancing ERH. Developed by a committee of experts, the report highlights opportunities for practice, policy, and research to strengthen supportive relationships. It emphasizes asset-based approaches, family and community leadership, workforce supports, and cross-sector collaboration to promote ERH across health care, education, and social systems.

About

Autism is a life-long, complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication and interaction and restricted or repetitive behaviors, often accompanied by other morbidities. Interventions and proper supports can help those with autism with self-care habits and management of change and stressful situations. Applied behavioral analysis (ABA), a behavioral therapeutic approach, is one such intervention. ABA is the application of learning theory and behavior analytic principles to build new skills important to individual health and well-being and/or reduce maladaptive behaviors that are not serving the individual. ABA providers use a range of practices based on ABA principles to promote skill acquisition and use in autistic individuals.

The National Academies’ forthcoming consensus report, The Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration: Solutions for Military Families, examines the delivery of ABA to TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries and the impacts on military-connected families using the demonstration to access ABA services and offers recommendations to improve the delivery of ABA services to TRICARE beneficiaries that need them.

A person- and family-centered approach to the delivery of ABA is important given the complex, heterogenous nature of autism and the range of individual health goals that might be supported by ABA. The National Academies’ Board on Children, Youth, and Families will host a public event on October 8, 2025, 1:00 to 5:00 pm EDT, to further explore the findings of this consensus report, particularly the need for individualized care. This event will bring together experts in autism diagnosis and ABA delivery and assessment, representatives from families receiving ABA, ABA providers, and policy makers to discuss current best practices for person- and family-centered care.

Addressing the Impact of School Active Shooter Drills on Health and Wellbeing: Vision to Action Summit

August 25, 2025

10:00 AM - 4:00 PM (ET)

Past

About

Active shooter drills have become a common practice in U.S. Schools—95% of public K–12 schools conduct them, and many states mandate their use. However, there is little consistency in how drills are implemented or in how schools communicate about them. Practices vary widely, often without clear guidance on how to minimize the potential harms to the mental, emotional, and behavioral health of students and staff. The National Academies’ forthcoming consensus report, School Active Shooter Drills: Mitigating Risks to Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Health, examines how school active shooter drills and broader school security measures affect school climate and individual wellbeing, and offers recommendations to help schools reduce potential harms while supporting safety.

The National Academies’ Board on Children, Youth, and Families and Societal Experts Action Network will co-host a summit to further explore the findings and recommendations of this consensus report. This summit will bring together state and local decision-makers, intermediaries, and experts in school safety and mental health to explore effective strategies for supporting the mental, emotional, and behavioral health needs of students and staff. Through expert panels and collaborative tabletop discussions, participants will examine how schools can implement practices that promote prevention, preparedness, and overall wellbeing—fostering learning environments where students and staff feel safe, capable, and supported.

This summit takes place in lecture room 100.

Summit

The Business of Flourishing: Innovative Investments in Children and Youth

May 19, 2025

10:00 AM - 3:00 PM (ET)

Past

Materials

About

There is growing momentum around public-private partnerships as a promising path to improve child and youth well-being. From local collaborations to statewide initiatives, new financial models are being tested to fund upstream, preventive solutions that can improve outcomes for children and families while creating long-term value for communities.

At the same time, these efforts face real challenges—including the difficulty of bridging sectors that don’t typically work together, the “wrong pocket” problem, and the long time horizon for seeing return on investment in early-life prevention. This summit will bring together leaders from philanthropy, policy, finance, research, health care, and community organizations—actors who need to understand each other’s language, constraints, and goals in order to move this work forward.

Together, we’ll explore a range of innovative investment strategies and local partnership models, surface common challenges, and identify practical solutions. Participants will leave with new insights, stronger cross-sector connections, and ideas they can apply in their own work—whether framing a grant for private funders, partnering with a local business, or shaping a statewide strategy.

The day featured:

Panel discussions exploring the business case for investing in children and youth, including both social and financial returns
Case presentations from initiatives testing bold new approaches to upstream investment
Facilitated small-group sessions for peer learning and candid problem-solving
Opportunities to connect across sectors and share lessons, questions, and emerging strategies
