Abstract

Hear what Georgia’s young people say they want and need adults to know about mental health today. By sharing young people’s voices alongside fresh data, this session will increase participants’ knowledge of teens' views of mental health needs as well as healthy approaches to self-expression. You'll learn teens’ perspectives on what works in reducing stigma and fostering communication about mental health, as well as how to effectively engage youth in conversation around mental health.
