Students from Washington Academy & High School and Crisfield Academy & High School met today at the Somerset County Technical High School for the first countywide meeting of the Somerset County Youth Advisory Board/Council (SCYAB). The group began under the lead of the Somerset County Health Department in a statewide initiative called "True You"! The members at each school have a goal of promoting conversations among the teens/peers in their schools. Each school brought ideas to the table and shared tactics and ideas to promote education for other students and staff from a student viewpoint. Members divided into groups and worked on how to handle certain scenarios, and suprisingly the similarities of the students regarding teen topics was interesting regardless of the school they attended. Somerset County Health Department leaders were there to participate along with the Advisors from each school. Mrs. Lynne Brumley, RN from Washington and Ms. Janae Johnson, MSW from Crisfield work closely with each other, and the students to promote the program. Today's main topic was teen mental health. Keep your eyes open as there is a lot of positive education coming from the two groups and as a team you are going to see great things! Student leadership is an important role and the teens participating in today's meeting are definite leaders. Somerset County should be proud of both teams.
