North Coast Conversations: Humboldt IPA mentorship program

The Humboldt Independent Practice Association has helped countless citizens through programs designed to improve the level of healthcare in our area.

One of Humboldt IPA’s beliefs is that overall wellness is essential to the academic success of Humboldt County students.

This week, we are meeting with Jett Stebbins of Humboldt IPA to learn about a new mentorship program that offers qualified adults the opportunity to share their personal stories, and to positively influence the development of the local youth by becoming a guest speaker in their empowerment groups.

Empowerment groups take place on local middle schools and high school campuses. Within these groups, students will engage in activities and hold structured conversations on topics that include but are not limited to, healthy relationships, consent, peer pressure, and even substance use.

If you're interested in learning more about this program please visit their websiteand fill out the mentorship application.

Thank you for listening and stay tuned for more episodes of North Coast Conversations as we explore more of what the North Coast has to offer.

Alejandro Zepeda has worked for KHSU since early 2020, providing news, PSA’s, and an interview show called North Coast Conversations to the station.
