Hear Youth Talk About Mental Health and Life
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 their cover story, “Growing Up is Harder than Ever” highlighted the project in which youth around the nation were interviewed about mental health and life. It 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-based life skill sessions.
