Mission of the project
The mission is to bring awareness to people around the country about the need for certain communities accessing mental health programs for young adolescents. Mental health care is something that is growing and making new innovations everyday but the real question is, why are there no programs solely focused on teens? Teens suffer the most from mental health illnesses making it hard to focus in school, maintain a social life, and growing closer with your family.
How to help teens with mental health
Here you will see a short video talking about how to help teens struggling with mental health problems, and some tips and ways to help handle these types of situations.
Why focus on adolescents and mental health?
Mental health affects teens all over the country and is something that is important to me because I also struggle from mental health issues. I am very fortunate to have grown up in a household that was able to provide the proper care to keep my mental health disorders under control. Everything that I have experienced due to mental health symptoms has made me the woman that I am today. I also care about the needs of others and making sure they know that they aren't alone with their mental health struggles.
I have always tried my hardest to put the needs of others before my own growing up. Especially now that I am older, and a senior in high school about to start a new chapter in my life, I wanted to start this project to spread awareness to others who might be unaware of the struggles teens deal with everyday.
