About Us
We founded Youth Mental Health Awareness (YMHA) with support from the Julie Beren Platt Teen Innovation Grant at the end of 2019. Mental health struggles have always been prevalent, but with the COVID-19 quarantine, mental health struggles have been amplified. We have seen first hand the effects of untreated mental health on young students. These kits will serve as an introduction to the development of student’s wellness habits. Our goal is to erase the stigma surrounding mental health at a younger age, so children are more inclined to ask for the help they need in the future.
