Our five panelists that we were honored to learn from at our Men's Health and Mental Health Awareness event. | |
June brought this awesome school year to an end. But ITAT is nowhere close to being finished with fulfilling our mission!
This month recognizes Men's Health Month and Men's Mental Health Month. ITAT celebrated by working with Utah Pacific Islander Health Coalition to hold an event with panelists, discussions, and performances to help bring light to barriers in the community and empower students. Our ITAT students had the opportunity to learn and perform at this event and we are so proud of them!
