About the summit

Real conversations. Bigger tomorrows.

Your experiences matter. Your voice matters.

Breakout is an annual youth mental health summit hosted by the Department of Health, Government of Bermuda. It creates space for young people to explore mental health and emotional well-being in ways that feel real and relevant.

Last year, more than 700 students joined us. This year, Breakout expands to three full days with local and international speakers, interactive workshops, creative experiences and hundreds of young people from across Bermuda.

Expect conversations about stress, friendships, school, family, identity, social media, confidence, belonging and asking for help. You can take part, share your perspective and find tools that work for you.

Hosted by Government of Bermuda, Ministry of Health, Department of Health

Bermudian artist James Cook
James Cook, Bermudian artist
The Breakout mural

Leave your mark.

A Bermudian artist will lead students in creating a collaborative mural about art, mental health, belonging and the voices of Bermuda's young people.

You don't need to call yourself an artist. Pick up a brush, add your piece and help turn hundreds of individual contributions into one collective story.

Support at Breakout

Need a minute?
That's okay.

Some conversations may bring up emotions. Mental health and wellness professionals will be available throughout the summit, alongside spaces where you can step away, talk with someone or take a moment before returning.

You don't have to handle it alone. Asking for support is welcome here.
Ready to Breakout?
