Youth Creating Change for Mental Health is an arts based mental health and suicide prevention project. It begins with youth learning about mental health through the lens of culture, then applying what they have learned to create film and art projects that are shared for peer-to-peer messaging. In the final stage of the project, youth-led awareness events are held in schools and communities to share the films and art, with the goal of fostering youth leadership, reducing stigma, and increasing access to resources.
