The launch occurred during the inaugural Hollywood & Mind summit in New York City. The Kids Mental Health Foundation, founded by Nationwide Children's Hospital, joined the announcement. The collective's advisory board is composed of individuals who have experienced growing up in the public eye, such as Angel Carter Conrad, Logan Henderson, Isabela Merced, Kel Mitchell, Soleil Moon Frye, Hudson Yang, and Breanna Yde. Lilah Kojoori, a children's entertainment communications executive, founded the organization, which has been operating for over 20 years. The Next Generation Collective aims to provide young people, their families, and professionals supporting them with access to mental health experts and guidance on mental health, boundaries, and the challenges of working in the public eye at a young age. The initiative will be an additional resource for studios, productions, agencies, managers, and platforms that support young talent.",
