Join me as I chat with an incredible 18-year-old mental health advocate and superstar, Maya Tarantino. She saw friends struggling with mental health and experienced friends taking their lives since entering high school four years ago. She was disgusted and disillusioned by her school administration's response and the community's response to this mental health crisis and decided to take action to try to do something about it.

She teamed up with #icanhelp to support youth mental health and digital wellness. She began conversations with peers and administrators at her school while starting a club to bring awareness to her school community about students’ silent mental health struggles and ways to support them and make a difference. Her empowering story will inspire adults to LISTEN to our youth and inspire Youth to TAKE ACTION to help improve mental health one small action at a time🦋

We chat about:

• What is the current mental health challenges facing teens and young adults

• Why do we think this is happening?

• Why Adults, alone,cannot help and Peer to Peer is best.

• Social Media's Role in Mental Health

• What we believe needs to happen to improve mental health… and it’s simpler than you may think!

This conversation is full of insight, powerful perspectives, and wake-up calls to adults, policymakers, educators, and the world!
