Louisiana Youth for Excellence (LYFE)
LCHE's Louisiana Youth for Excellence (LYFE) initiative includes the LYFE Line Teen Summit, LYFE Live: A Virtual Dialogue series, LYFE Matters, and the LYFE Mini Summit. Through each of these programs, teens learn the power of healthy decision making and are afforded the opportunity to develop strong self-advocacy skills. Each activity is designed to engage participants in conversations that encourage them to voice their concerns and explore ways to make thoughtful and safe decisions.
The Louisiana Center for Health Equity (LCHE) would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone for your respective roles in making the 2024 LYFELine Teen Summit a huge success. We could not have done it without each of you!
During the summit, teens explored the following topics:
Financial Literacy
College and Vocational Readiness
Mental Health and Trauma
Life Goals
Community Safety and Impact
Self-Esteem
Youth Advocacy
Strategies for Sexual Risk Avoidance
HIV/STD Prevention
