Eunetra Rutledge, Director of Distribution, represented Peer Health Exchange on a panel at the Connected Wellbeing Symposium at the University of California, Irvine, in February 2024. The panel, Connected Wellbeing in Action, was focused on how youth organizers and creators are mobilizing digital tools and networks to build inclusive, socially connected and healthy online content, and on how they support youth voice, agency, equity, and digital wellbeing.
Peer Health Exchange is a member of the Connected Wellbeing Impact Studio’s Inaugural Cohort. The Impact Studio supports early to mid-stage innovations that foster youth and community wellbeing through strengths-based, socially-connected, and youth-centered approaches. “Representing a featured organization in the Impact Studio, I had the unique opportunity to connect with a diverse group of individuals and organizations dedicated to supporting youth wellbeing. Being a panelist allowed me to share how Peer Health Exchange amplifies youth voices through our digital health resource, selfsea, and in classrooms nationwide. Many thanks to the Connected Wellbeing Team—Mimi, Colin, Jenna, Remy, and Julie—for fostering meaningful and lasting connections,” Eunetra said of the experience.
