Be Heard

Your actions and words matter more than you realize; your story can make a difference.  It might resonate with someone in need like no one else’s.

Some of the topics we’re very interested in hearing from you are:

  •  What are some things you wish your parents would know about you?
  •  Do you want to see a therapist? Why or why not?
  •  Are your parents happy or stressed? How do they affect you?
  •  What are you most stressed out about?
  •  What would you like to see “fixed” in our education or behavioral health systems?
  •  What do you wish you knew when you were growing up?
