A new program is helping high schoolers connect with young adults who have struggled with mental health and substance abuse issues. The Generation S.O.S. program brings together students, young adults, and experts to share their experiences and provide a platform for open discussions about these sensitive topics.
The idea behind the program was born out of a need for more authentic conversations about mental health among teenagers. "We want to make sure that we're not just talking about it, but actually engaging with each other," said one of the program's organizers.
Participating students will have the opportunity to share their own struggles and experiences with mental health, while also hearing from young adults who have gone through similar challenges. The goal is to create a safe space where students can open up and feel supported.
The Generation S.O.S. program has already shown promising results, with many participants reporting feeling more comfortable discussing sensitive topics and gaining new insights into the importance of mental health support.
