Youth Advisory Board
Egan

"Fear doesn't stop death. It stops life."

When he’s not busy resetting his nervous system with a peaceful walk in a field, Egan is usually center stage. Theater is both his job and his favorite hobby, which means he brings all the creative energy to our advisory board.

Fueling his days with fried chicken and fried pickles, Egan is always ready for the next big adventure. Literally. Up next? He’s heading to Barcelona next year to study abroad!

Emily

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." — Dr. Suess

When Emily needs to protect her peace or reset after a busy day, she turns up the volume on her favorite playlist. (Music is her go-to coping skill.)

A true creative soul, you can usually find her lost in a great book, eating chicken on the bone (on the bone is better, TBH), or working on her latest art project.

Jackson

"Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind." — Mick Jagger

When Jackson needs to clear his head and reset his focus, he hits the ground running. (After all, exercise is his go-to coping skill.)

If he isn’t working up a sweat, you can usually find him fishing by the water, with a stomach full of scrumptious lo mein.

Paige

"I am both smarter and dumber than you think. Never estimate me."

If you’re looking for Paige, just follow the sound of music. Playing the piano is her favorite way to cope with stress, unwind, and relax.

When she’s not painting, drawing, or eating every type of pasta on the planet, you’ll find her hitting the pavement for a run.

Sara

"Take the high road."

Whenever life starts moving a little too fast, Sara relies on the simple power of deep breathing to rest + reset.

An absolute powerhouse on the field, she splits her athletic time between tearing it up on the soccer pitch and crushing it at softball — then scarfing down a burrito bowl for good measure.

She’s a Type 1 Diabetic who’s passionate about showing you that health challenges don’t slow you down — they just make you stronger.

Triston
Triston

"Tellin' truths better than your next of kin." — Kendrick Lamar

More than anything, Triston is driven by listening to music, playing video games, and a desire to give back. Oh, he also loves eating chicken.

At the end of the day, he wants to remind anyone going through a tough time that they aren’t alone, and brighter days are ahead.
