Flagler Health+, in partnership with area organizations including The St. Augustine Amphitheatre, is pleased to announce the return of the 3rd Annual BRAVE Summit at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre. The Summit aims to open a dialogue with teens to address the stigma associated with mental health and encourage teens to learn about how to foster mental wellness.

The Summit will provide a safe place to talk to other high school students in the area about mental health and how to breakdown stigma and normalize conversations about mental health 365 days a year.

The afternoon event will feature some of today's most captivating speakers, artists, and content creators to hold panels, group discussions, and talks all focused on taking charge of your mental health. We will hear from some of TikTok’s most popular mental health advocates and jam to some live music from local artists like King Peach, Kaylee Rose, Kelp, and DJ Gexella. Instaramp will be on-site for exciting demos, too!

Introduced this year, in conjunction with the Summit for teens, will be the BRAVE Summit for Parents, Caregivers and Guardians from 4:30pm – 7pm. While teens are at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre, caregivers are invited to attend a free seminar at the neighboring Elks Lodge of St. Augustine where speakers will center around fostering mental wellness and understanding how to talk to your teen. Caregivers will walk away with new tools and tips on how to talk to their teens and learn about what it's like for them today to deal with the ever-changing landscape of managing mental health.
