young adult mental health
We know from Active Minds’ mental health 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.
"When Simone pulled herself out of the Olympics (last) Monday, with the world’s eyes on her, she showed us that we all have permission to be human. That sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves and the people around us is to know that it’s okay to not be okay, and we don’t have to be perfect."

Your mental health matters, and as we learned this month from student leaders across the country, your identity is an integral part of who you are and how you experience the world. We're so grateful to have honored #BIPOCMentalHeatlhMonth by amplifying the voices of BIPOC individuals, and we're committed to continuing to conversation all year round.
