Layla’s Hope Participated in the Health Transitions Event – Greeneville, TN
On September 6th, 2025, Layla’s Hope was proud to serve as a vendor at the Health Transitions event in Greeneville, TN. This event provided an incredible opportunity to connect with families, youth, and providers, share valuable resources, and highlight the importance of our Bags of Hope program.

🌟 Building Stronger Partnerships for Families & Youth 🌟
On September 8, 2025, MHTA had the privilege of leading the Family Partnership Facilitator Training with a passionate group of NC Department of Juvenile Justice staff.
This training focused on strategies to strengthen engagement between families, youth, and juvenile justice teams — fostering collaboration, trust, and shared decision-making to improve outcomes for young people and their families.
We are grateful for the opportunity to support this important work and look forward to seeing the lasting impact these leaders will create in their communities.
🌟 Layla’s Hope at the STRONG ACC Regional Symposium 🌟
On September 10–11, 2025, community leaders, advocates, and changemakers from across Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee gathered at the Delta Hotel Bristol for the STRONG Accountable Care Community’s 2025 Regional Symposium.
This year’s theme, “One Region: Uniting in Action,” celebrated the power of collaboration across sectors and state lines to build a resilient, equitable, and thriving Appalachia. With powerful storytelling, 16 breakout sessions, insights from state policymakers, hands-on solutions, and networking opportunities, the symposium energized and connected those working to address some of our region’s most pressing challenges.
Layla’s Hope was honored to participate in the Partner Showcase, where we shared our mission to support missing, homeless, and runaway youth. This event was a wonderful opportunity to connect with other organizations and leaders who are dedicated to making a difference for families and youth in our communities.
We are grateful to everyone who stopped by to learn more about Layla’s Hope and our work. Together, we can create stronger, safer, and more hopeful communities for youth and families across the region. 🦋💜
