#TeensTalkMentalHealth Video Project Links

The #TeensTalkMentalHealth grant project involved interviewing Colorado teens to share their perspectives on what their mental health needs are in their own words. We have crafted a video for legislators and policy makers, encouraging them to listen to teen voices. Additionally, we have put together a video aimed at informing parents about teens’ needs from their own perspective.
