Our Mission
Our mission is to create the opportunity for open dialogue regarding sensitive topics that might not be easy to address so that the next generation of youth feel confident in asking questions and discovering who they are. Many people have battled their fair share of depression and this is in part due to current social stigmas and a lack of shared resources regarding issues that impact everyone. By not talking about these things we end up isolating ourselves, when often times there's a significant amount of people going through the same exact struggles.
Our goal is to make a positive impact on young people from all walks of life. By reassuring people that they are never alone, helping them realize their self-worth, potential, capabilities, and passions, we hope to accomplish this goal. If we truly believe in ourselves, then there is no limit to what we will be able to accomplish.
