Dr. Hightow-Weidman reminded us at #2025MFPITI that health doesn’t happen in isolation: Housing instability and trauma all shape youth risk for HIV, mental health, and substance use challenges. Her call: Integrated solutions are the only path to lasting change.
#NursesForChange
At #2025MFPITI, Dr. Lisa Hightow-Weidman reminded us: digital health can reduce stigma & expand access—but it must complement, not replace, human connection.
Digital tools are the bridge. Nurses remain the heart.
#DigitalHealth #NursingInnovation
Youth HIV, Mental Health, & Substance Use Crisis
Nurses must lead with developmentally appropriate, integrated, and responsive care models that meet youth where they are.
