Brave Teens, College Auditions, Virtual 5K and more

Announcing Brave Teens Daily Video Diary Series
A collaboration with WETA Public Media in Washington, D.C.
This Is My Brave is thrilled to collaborate with WETA on Brave Teens, as part of their recently launched Well Beings initiative.

The Brave Teens video diary series is a first-of-its-kind digital community of This Is My Brave teen storytellers who are going on the record about their mental health journeys.

With their schools abruptly closed, graduations and proms cancelled, and college plans up in the air, teens are increasingly—and understandably—overwhelmed.

Brave Teens seeks to break down stigma and help young people struggling with mental health challenges. The series is co-produced by WETA and Principle Pictures, and features This Is My Brave teen storytellers.
