We've talked about youth mental health, but it's time for us to hear from the youth themselves. On this episode, high school students and hosts of the On Our Minds podcast, Matt Suescun and Faiza Ashar share some of the major mental health challenges youth face, their experience hosting a podcast about teen mental health, and ideas for how we can improve youth mental health programs. The first step: include them.
