Authenticity as Activism: Democratizing Youth Mental Health

Description:

While youth are at the forefront of mental health advocacy, barriers exist around youth’s ability to break into the field. Under the image of large headlines, many of these initiatives rise up the hierarchy — making it daunting for mental health advocates to start their work due to a high standard to meet. To democratize youth advocacy more, our panel features mental health narratives through a diverse intersection of mental health with film, technology, and global networks. Hear from youth leaders reforming wellness from a local to global level, using personal authenticity and pure passion.
