Brave Teens in PEOPLE Magazine Online

 

This Is My Brave Teens in PEOPLE Magazine Online
"Teens Across the Country Share Their Mental Health Struggles During COVID-19"
"Courageous teens from across the United States are candidly opening up about their mental health in a new nationwide campaign to break down stigmas surrounding mental health challenges.

Earlier this year, WETA launched Well Beings, a national public campaign to destigmatize mental health concerns through storytelling, with a focus on youth mental health and well-being.

Their latest initiative, the BRAVE TEENS video diary series, spotlights teens who are publicly documenting their own experiences living with or recovering from a mental health condition or substance abuse, in hopes to inspire students across the country to reclaim their mental well being." Read more.

Theme Song Competition Deadline is next Monday 8/31
This Is My Brave is in search of a singer/songwriter to create an upbeat, original theme song for the organization. This song has the potential to be the opening song to our storytelling shows, just as the Sara Bareilles song "Brave" was our unofficial theme song for the past 6 years. It needs to be as inspiring, uplifting, and powerful as our storytellers, full of the hopeful message that recovery is possible and you are never alone.
