Mental Health Champions Pitch Competition | Baltimore Medical System

Baltimore Student Mental Health Event

About the Event

Mental Health Champions: Pitch Competition brings together students, clinicians, families, educators, and community partners for a meaningful day focused on youth voice, mental health, and real solutions.

Students participating in Baltimore Medical System’s mentoring and behavioral health programs will develop and present innovative ideas that address real mental health challenges affecting their communities. Through this experience, students identify issues impacting their peers, build confidence, strengthen leadership and public speaking skills, and present their work to community leaders and partners.

This is more than an event. It is a platform for youth leadership, community connection, and school-based mental health support in action.
