Messages for Youth From YouthTALK CMHAWW:

Storytelling is a fundamental part of being human and this year CMHA Mental Health Week focuses on #MyStory. Stories help build connections and strong communities. Storytelling, in all its forms, supports mental health and reduces stigma.

This year’s Mental Health Week will amplify some of the youth voices from our Guelph- Wellington community.

YouthTALK has put together 10 minutes messages from youth in our community for youth in our community. Check out their messages below!

These short videos are intended for our intermediate and secondary students. Remember supports are available at school and in the community and these support can be found under the "Supports Available" tab.


Engagement

YouthTALK shares how engagement in activities positively help health and wellbeing, and ways to get started in a way that works best for you! Video from

YouthTALK can be found here.


Identity

YouthTALK explores how identity and mental health are related, how we can accept our identity and how we can create an accepting and inclusive environment for everyone. Video from YouthTALK can be found here.
