Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot announced ‘Holding Healing Spaces for Youth’—a virtual, multi-day conference for youth developers focused on mental health and racial healing. This first of its kind, trauma-informed training is geared towards adults who plan to work with youth in and out of school settings this summer. The conference is being presented by ‘My CHI. My Future.’ and will take place on June 8th and June 9th.  The ‘Holding Healing Spaces for Youth’ conference aims to ensure providers are adequately prepared to welcome youth back to in-person and hybrid programs as Chicago safely reopens this summer. The conference will include various sessions led by City and community partners that give providers a holistic understanding of what trauma is and how to approach the healing process. The My CHI. My Future. family of more than 200 organizations, has been designing the initiative, with a focus on organizing and connecting the opportunity ecosystem in Chicago and galvanizing caring adults, all over the city, to ensure that every young person has a plan for out of school engagement.  To learn more, visit MyCHIMyFuture.org/partners
