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.
In January 2026, 250 students and educators from 30 Rhode Island high schools gathered on the campus of Rhode Island College for the 3rd Annual RI Teen Mental Health Summit. The conference, held in partnership with the Rhode Island Interscholastic League (RIIL), began with keynote speaker Donovan Taylor Hall, an educator, content creator, and youth advocate dedicated to helping young people build positive self-identity, empowering teens to become their own best friend while boosting life satisfaction, motivation, and self-determination.
