The YEAH (Youth for Education, Advocacy and Healthcare) Council
Youth For Education, Advocacy, and Healthcare (YEAH) Council is a youth-driven and directed group of individuals with disabilities and/or special health care needs from around New Hampshire. We are focused on developing and strengthening the skills and resources needed to achieve the unique independent life that we each desire. YEAH does this by empowering, educating, and supporting individuals and professionals in the areas of education, advocacy, and health care.
The YEAH Council is supported by The Parent Information Center and NH Family Voices and meets monthly. Interested in learning more about YEAH and speaking to someone in the group? Complete the form below:
