Department of Health & Human Services’ Child and Youth Resilience Challenge    
The Children and Youth Resilience Prize Challenge will award prizes to innovative community-led solutions to promote resilience in children and adolescents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and other man-made or natural disasters. The Challenge is recognized as part of the President’s Unity Agenda and Mental Health Strategy. The Challenge aims to:

• Award prizes to community-led solutions that promote resilience, advance mental health and well-being, and reduce the risk for negative mental health outcomes among children and youth
• Promote positive strategies and solutions that help children and youth – and their families and support systems – thrive
• Identify and elevate promising practices that promote culturally and linguistically responsive protective factors to improve resilience and advance mental health and well-being
• Support community-led innovation in promoting resilience among children, youth, and their families (in places such as community organizations, early childhood education settings, schools, primary care, and other children- and youth-serving or youth-led organizations)
• Increase understanding of gaps and opportunities to promote resilience, especially in underserved communities 
• Catalyze action through public-private partnerships to broaden impact, address local needs, and promote sustainability

For the purposes of this Challenge, community-led solutions are those identified and driven by members of the community who are experts in their own contexts, needs, and solutions.
