Healthy Young Minds

Healthy Young Minds is an annual project that YAMH initiates and organizes. The project has consisted of a series of webinars over zoom and focuses on teenagers (middle and high school students). Each session has started with a short meditation sessions, and each webinar focuses on a different topic: how to improve mental health (the techniques and methods), destigmatizing mental health issues and mental illness, guest speakers sharing their stories, and more. The project strives to help adolescents who are struggling with mental health issues and to raise awareness. Health Young Minds was sponsored by Hershey through the Hershey Heartwarming Young Heroes Grant and powered by Youth Service America. The project has drawn hundreds of direct adolescent participants from around the world. Holding the webinars online has allowed the project to extend its influences globally.
