Hear Youth Talk About Mental Health and Life
Time Magazine cover story and short film: Youth Empowerment Group (YEG) is very proud of the 48 courageous youth interviewed for our national film project. A short film excerpt was published in October 2023 by Time Magazine online and in a cover story, “Growing Up is Harder than Ever.” This project interviewed youth in Colorado and around the nation about mental health and life and was co-produced by YEG and award-winning cinematographer and photographer Robin Hammond.
Harnessing the power of peer-to-peer influence, we are incorporating validating, supportive, and advisory clips from these young people’s interviews into our video lessons.
