2023 Empowering Teens' Mental Health Summit 

On behalf of Migliaro Consulting and Brookline Teen Outreach, we are excited to announce an inaugural event here in Pittsburgh that we believe will help to empower our local youth as it relates to their mental health and self esteem.

The primary aim of this event is to encourage positive self-esteem and improve mental health among teenagers through an engaging and empowering experience. Rock climbing, a sport that demands mental focus, determination, and physical strength, serves as a perfect platform to build confidence, self-awareness, and resilience. Our friends at ASCEND have opened up their South Side facility to host this unique event. 

The event will also feature inspirational and educational talks from local & certified mental health experts and motivational speakers. They will deliver talks on self-acceptance, managing stress, and promoting a healthy mindset. Speakers include: 

Sam Adams, LPC, NCC and Clinical Director from Charlie Health
Kierra Price, MS, PC Counselor, from Compassionate Counseling
Shawn Coleman, Founder, PerspectVe LLC

We hope you can enjoy us for this unique event and help spread the word. This is a FREE event. Please email us for further questions.Space is limited so be sure to RSVP today.  Ages 13-17 welcome!
