My name is Talia Esposito, and I am the creator of Cont;nue With Hope (CWH). There are so many important things to take into consideration when talking about Adolescent Mental Health. As someone who struggles with mental health; anxiety and depression, I wanted to be the voice for people in my community. I know for me it took me a while to come to terms with my mental health and advocate for myself. Now that I am 18 and going off to Stonehill College, majoring in Child Psychology, I wanted to leave my own mark at my school. Being a teenager is very hard when it comes to making friends, drug and Alcohol use, social media, and home life, which is something I hope this project will be so teens don't have to be afraid to stand up for themselves. With the help of my parents, Laurie and Michael Esposito, have helped make me the person I am today. I am in a much better place then I have been since I was 13 years old. I am happy that I was able to get the proper care and attention that my mental health needed, and want to give back to other teens by introducing this topic to them and showing them that turning to a trusted adult and or friend makes all the different in your life!
