United Voices Youth Summit 2021



What is United Voices?

CFN invites you to join us for the 3rd annual United Voices: Immigrant Youth Wellness Summit – the first summit of its kind in Southern Alberta. Youth from all backgrounds are invited to register to take part in a fun day including stories from inspirational immigrant speakers, interactive break-out sessions, and more, while learning how to battle the stigma surrounding mental health.


Are you a youth who wants to learn more about mental health? Do you want to learn how to take action against the stigma surrounding mental health? Then you will love United Voices! Learn the skills and gain the confidence to become an advocate for mental health and spark change in your community. Whether you are an immigrant, the child of immigrants, or just want to share your voice, this completely free event will be an afternoon for everyone to come together to end the stigma.


This summit is open to youth from all backgrounds. The summit will be held online so we welcome attendees from across Canada! Registration is required, please click here to register!


United Voices 2021 will be held online on Saturday, November 20 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. (MST). Participation link provided upon registration.
