    Since 1980, the Healthy People initiative has set measurable objectives to improve the health and well-being of people nationwide. At the beginning of every decade, we launch a new version of the initiative that addresses the latest public health priorities and challenges. Healthy People 2030 includes data-driven national objectives to improve health and well-being over the next decade. LGBTQI+ adolescents are especially at risk for being bullied, thinking about and dying from suicide, and using illegal drugs. School- and family-based interventions can help reduce these behaviors and improve health in LGBTQI+ adolescents. Focusing on youth mental health now is critical. We all have a role to play in supporting the mental health of children and youth. Join Admiral Levine as she discusses objectives from Healthy Kids 2030, the Surgeon Generals Advisory Protecting Youth Mental Health.
