Around the holiday season we came up with the idea to host a food drive with the Houston Food Bank. We wanted to acknowledge the environment teens live in to help them combat teen isolation. Food insecurity, when present, can be very influential on teen mental health and can create a stressful and unstable environment at home. This makes it harder for teens to be comfortable, and causes them to isolate themselves. This food drive helps create more stable and welcoming home environments so teens can focus on connection rather then when their next meal is. Supporting mental health means strengthening the environments teens live in without just addressing how they feel.
