"The discussion reminded me of a resource from the #ZeroReasonsWhy campaign that is tapping into student strengths and their unique voices to identify potential strategies or considerations (mental health related), utilizing a podcast format.
"Inside the Mind of QuaranTEENS was made by Pooja Jain, a high school senior. Pooja is an executive leader of #ZeroReasonsWhy, a local teenage suicide prevention campaign. In this time of uncertainty and isolation, many teenagers are experiencing more mental health struggles. She created this podcast to show these teens they are not alone. Pooja works with other teenagers in the community to give advice on how to get through these tough times."
