KEYNOTE: MIKE O’BRYAN
Through the healing power of art, Mike O’Bryan serves as an advocate for youth rights and social change in underserved communities. His professional experience touches the worlds of performance art, public health and trauma informed care. Much of his work has centered on amplifying the voices of marginalized populations including: adjudicated youth, youth and families experiencing homelessness, and migrant farm-workers. Past projects include work with: Project HOME, WURD 900AM, ASTEP, The University of Miami's Community and Educational Well-Being Research Center, and The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. Mike was awarded “Child Advocate of The Year, 2014” for the Philadelphia Region through The Pennsylvania Department of Education for his work assisting youth living in emergency housing and also named a 2016 “Hero for The Homeless” by One Step Away.

“Arguably the number one public health crisis that we have right now is connectivity and access to supportive healthy peers and mentors. Children and adults need to learn new ways of coping, ways of perceiving, and collaborative ways of moving forward, overcoming challenges and problems. That’s what everybody needs and the arts provide that.”
