Carson Domey

Carson Domey is a youth mental health advocate and the executive director of the Coalition for Student Wellbeing. The coalition aims to elevate youth voices in policymaking to enhance student health outcomes on college campuses. He began his advocacy journey at age 12, sharing his experience with a lifelong illness to expand access to telehealth services in Massachusetts.

After losing a friend to suicide in 2018, Domey shifted his focus to mental health awareness, working to remove barriers to care and enhance resources within educational systems. He has advocated for legislation in the Massachusetts State Legislature, the Texas State Legislature, and in Congress.

Currently, Domey is an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, studying government, with plans to attend law school. He is active in his community and sits on the board of directors for multiple nonprofits in the Boston and Austin areas that focus on addressing suicide prevention and improving the lives of those with inflammatory bowel disease.
