We know from our recent survey that 74% of high school students report having experienced stress or anxiety as a result of COVID-19. So, we wanted to reach out to them directly to learn more. We invite you to watch this short video by students, for students. Then share their message far and wide: it is okay to not be okay.

Your Voice is Your Power so use it! 🗣 Throughout the rest of Suicide Prevention Month (and beyond!) continue to uplift voices who have been silenced, provide space for others to talk openly about their mental health, and offer helpful resources to oppressed communities. 💛
Thank you to our partner, @just_periods, for supporting us in advocating for mental health equity and support for BIPOC students this fall.
