Youth rally in Columbus promotes healthy lifestyles and mental well-being

For over a decade, the We Are Change Rally has drawn thousands of young people from across Ohio to Columbus.

The annual event is a platform for youth to demonstrate their commitment to a healthy lifestyle, challenge the stigma surrounding teen substance misuse, and support each other in a community of like-minded individuals.

As youth environments have evolved, there is a growing awareness among young people about the importance of mental well-being and its role in preventing substance use and misuse. The rally emphasizes that healthy youth are empowered youth, encouraging participants to become change agents who can create positive change for themselves, their peers, and their communities.
