Our Goal
We want to break the stigma around mental health with a focus on adolescents. We're making mental health goodie bags to distribute to kids and teens who are struggling with mental health We want them to know that they are not alone.
Group Members
We decided to work together since we're already friends and we're both interested in mental health. We had a lot of the same ideas and goals for our long term project. We both have qualities that make us good partners and a great fit together.
