Allen Mental Health is a group of 3 Allen High School students who wanted to share the importance of mental health problems in teens and what they can do to not only help themselves, but others as well.
We hope that with the use of social media, we can connect with an audience in our age group, and help them with whatever mental health problems they have in themselves, or people they know. We also hope to open up the idea of mental health awareness, as we feel that it's often cast aside or not taken seriously among teens.
Shown below are screenshots from some of the skits and interviews that we posted on our TikTok.
Shown below are posts from our 14 Day Reset. In addition to those, we had a number of other posts as well as reels.
Our Mental Health Consultant was Mrs. Jennifer Atencio, M.Ed., the support counselor at Allen High School. We thought that it would be beneficial to have a consultant who had experience with the mental health of teenagers, as they were our primary target audience. Mrs. Atencio helped guide our social media posts, along with providing us with helpful recourses to share, such as LifePath. She helped us understand leading causes of mental health issues in teens, allowing us to translate this information to our posts.
