KyleCares Conferences
In addition to our year-round efforts, we host regional teen conferences that bring together nearly 750 student mental health leaders from across New England each year. These innovative events offer a full day of learning, growth, and connection, featuring a keynote speaker and sessions with mental health experts on topics such as wellness strategies, coping skills, advocacy, healthy relationships, inclusion, how to help a friend, and more. Designed to inspire student action, the conferences empower students to break stigmas, encourage open conversation, and promote help-seeking behaviors. This is more than just an event; it’s a critical movement for systemic mental health change, led by students for their peers.
At Gillette Stadium
The KyleCares Conference, held in partnership with the New England Patriots Foundation, is one of the premier teen mental health conferences in New England, and it’s held at the premier conferencing location in New England – Gillette Stadium.
Rhode Island Teen Mental Health Summit
In January 2024, two-hundred representatives from 30 Rhode Island high schools gathered on the campus of Rhode Island College for the first-ever RI Teen Mental Health Summit. The conference, held in partnership with the Rhode Island Interscholastic League, began with keynote speaker Ivy Watts, author of the book, “You Are Worth Fighting For”, and stressed the importance of focusing on one’s emotional well-being through self-care, encouraging those students who are struggling with their mental health to seek help and guiding them on the best ways to do so.
