After careful consideration of both organizational capacity and the current state of our communities, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the shOUT summit for November 2024. Please join our newsletter for further updates.

Please join us on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at the Monarch Auditorium at Bristol Regional Medial Center for Sharing Stories, Changing Lives, the 2nd annual shOUT Coalition Summit.

This year’s summit emphasizes listening deeply to understand what children and youth need to become sexually health adults and the root causes of guardian and community hesitancy when it comes to meeting those needs. Our goal is to address competing needs and interests to ensure critical information reaches the people who need it. The summit welcomes guardians, sexual and reproductive health professionals, and youth-serving professionals of all kinds.

Please share this event with colleagues and anyone you think would contribute to a great conversation about how we can best meet the reproductive and sexual health needs of youth in the Appalachian Highlands of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia..

If you are interested in presenting or attending, please subscribe so you receive details on proposals and registration as they become available.

RISE: Healthy for Life is the fiscal sponsor for this event. If you are interested in sponsoring this Summit, please reach out to cindi@riseHFL.org for more information.

Details will appear here as they are firmed up.
