Burnout, Belonging, and Being Heard: Voices from Teens
In this candid and thoughtful episode, two teen leaders from the CHC Teen Collaborative share what it’s like to manage mental health in a world shaped by academic competition, social comparison, and constant pressure to perform. Cailey, from My Digital TAT2, and Brian, from allcove, talk openly about burnout, therapy, family communication, identity, and the emotional weight many teens carry while trying to balance school, activities, friendships, and future plans.
They also discuss how older generations often approach mental health differently, why teens need adults to listen instead of immediately trying to solve the problem, and how trusted spaces at school and in the community can make a real difference. With honesty, empathy, and practical insight, this episode speaks to both parents and teens who want stronger communication and a deeper understanding of each other’s experiences.
Launched in fall 2023, the CHC Teen Collaborative is a powerful group of high school students working together to improve mental health and learning support in their communities. Students from six youth-focused organizations – AIM Youth Mental Health, allcove, Bring Change to Mind, Challenge Success, My Digital TAT2, SafeSpace, and Taarika Foundation – joined forces to share ideas, identify needs, and lead change. Brian represents allcove, and Cailey represents My Digital TAT2.
