teens unscripted

HI GUYS! sorry for the shorter episode! as mentioned in the podcast, we are hosting a NAMI partnered fundraiser!!! this fundraiser is dedicated to address the housing crisis prevalent across washington state and the nation, especially those struggling w a mental illness. homeownership remains out of reach for washington residents as, since 2015, prices have climbed faster than incomes. those who experience housing difficulty in washington have reported negative effects on their mental health, exacerbating anxiety and even depression.

hey all! we’re back on our CONSISTENT grind and we’re giving you guys a new video about unsatisfying friendships and how to deal with them. we all have had a fair share of friendships where we feel misunderstood, annoyed, and even frustrated. all these feelings are valid and we’re here to help you navigate through that!

hey everyone! in this episode today (which we actually filmed a month ago), we chatted with YES (youth eastside services) counselors who take the time to be vulnerable with us and explain what made them get into their professions, their roles at YES, their goals, and how youth can seek help when they’re struggling with their mental health. we hope to do more of these informative eps in the future to get youth the help that they need.

hey guys! we appreciate our listeners for keeping up with the podcast throughout sophomore year and going forward in the summer, we hope to post weekly! stay tuned for more episodes and content coming up.

hey everyone! we know it’s been a while but we PROMISE (hope) that we’re back on track with posting every other sunday. in this episode today (which we actually filmed a few weeks ago), we visited the "Together Center" in the King County area to chat with NAMI counselors who take the time to be vulnerable with us and explain what made them get into their professions, their roles at NAMI, their goals, and how youth can seek help when they’re struggling with their mental health. we hope to do more of these informative eps in the future to get youth the help that they need.
