Free virtual events empower and inspire youth
to overcome challenges with mental health, substance use, juvenile
justice and foster-care-related issues
Magellan Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGLN), one of the nation’s
leaders in behavioral health, today announced a virtual program
called Stay at Home for MY LIFE (Magellan Youth Leaders Inspiring
Future Empowerment) for youth ages 13-23 who have experience with
mental health, substance use, juvenile justice and
foster-care-related issues.
In response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, MY LIFE launched
a virtual component last month, Stay at Home for MY LIFE – Virtual
Youth Fest for youth and young adults across the country. These
inspiring and engaging events take place every Thursday with events
featuring nationally recognized inspirational speakers, uplifting
entertainment, fun activities and information on a variety of
topics important to youth. As a result of the Stay at Home for MY
LIFE events, 89 percent of participants report feeling less alone
and 90 percent of participants feel more hopeful about the
future.
“We are pleased to share MY LIFE in this safe and innovative way
that provides a healthy outlet for youth and young adults,
especially during these most challenging times,” said Matthew
Miller, senior vice president, behavioral health, Magellan
Healthcare. “We understand the critical importance of social
interaction in the lives of young people. Stay at Home for MY LIFE
is bridging the gap during the pandemic and virtually connecting
youth with musicians, poets and individuals with lived experiences
for an engaging, supportive experience.”
Since 2008, Magellan’s MY LIFE program has been leading the way
nationally for youth in behavioral health and foster care systems,
allowing them to share their stories and support each other in
their goals. Through regular meetings, special events,
performances, social media, and local and national presentations,
youth create positive change for themselves and others in their
communities.
Currently, the virtual event takes place every Thursday from
4:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. Eastern. To learn more about Magellan
