Teens4TeensHelp.org is an on-line mental health platform designed for and by, teens and young adults. This nonprofit was born from our personal experience, after our daughter’s story helped direct a suicidal boy towards recovery. We know that the peer-to-peer connection is the most powerful way to reach teens and on-line video is their preferred medium. This site is a resource for teens and young adults and for those who care about or work with them. It is designed to reduce stigma and isolation while providing inspiration, information, hope, and paths to recovery. We collaborate with Universities and other nonprofits for content creation and resource development. All materials are reviewed by our professional and teen advisory boards.
This site features:
- Video stories of recovery by teens from a variety of mental health issues
- Short animated informational videos, self-help info, and practical how to videos
- Resources – Websites, hotlines, text lines, apps, & therapy referrals
- Teen Talk Webinars – Teens interview experts in mental health on a topic like, anxiety, participants can ask questions in the chat.
