Teens4Teens Help
Los Angeles, Calif.
When Jeff and Kathy Long's daughter went through a mental health crisis in high school, they struggled to find the resources they needed.
After their daughter was better, they created the help they wished they had.
Teens4Teens Help is an online support platform for teenagers who are suffering from mental or emotional health challenges. It is tackling the nation's youth mental health crisis in a unique way - through peer-to-peer support that is particularly valuable to young people who are struggling.
The platform provides a way to hear from other teens about how they got through their mental health and emotional challenges through videos, testimonials, and other resources.
Teens are very receptive to what their peers have to say. By sharing stories of difficulty and recovery told by others like them, young people can see they are not alone and feel encouraged to keep going.
It's a platform that's saving lives through outreach.
