How We Started

Inspired by community concerns around mental health distress among our youth and building on existing efforts of the Transylvania County Youth Support Collaborative workgroups, TC STRONG was formed in late 2021. Our goal was to create a broad coalition of youth, school, and community leaders who would develop and implement a strategic plan to address these concerns in a collaborative and effective way.
