In March, OMM attended the Congressional briefing “What do young people need from their communities to support their mental health” hosted by our partners @crisistextline. Today, reflecting on the event, we’re reminded of the symbolism of an eclipse- a moment of transition. Even in our darkest times, the voices of teens offer hope and guidance, illuminating the way forward. 🌚 🌞💫 Let’s transition towards creating a culture that prioritizes mental health for all. Visit the link in the bio to discover 6 essential resources youth identified they need from their communities to take care of their mental health. #ourmindsmatter 💛
