Youth Mental Health Association

Mental health affects all of us, but not all of us understand nearly enough about mental health or mental illness. Mental illness often begins to manifest in youth in today's stressful society, and as such, youth are beginning to take leadership positions in the fight to destigmatize mental illness. However, we staunchly believe that today's youth are talented and can contribute directly to innovating solutions to problems that exist within our mental health systems, be it through community engagement, technology, or policy development. By establishing youth as innovators in this rapidly developing field of interest, we hope to create a future in which mental health can be more thoroughly destigmatized.
