WE GET YOUTH TALKING
Each year, one in six youth experience a mental health disorder. These youth sometimes struggle to be heard. Many never seek help.
Text, Talk, Act uses text messaging, paired with small group discussions, to quickly get youth talking and connected to resources.
Our activity is highly engaging for today’s youth and includes live polling, videos, and social media interactions.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Youth gather in groups of 3-4.
2. Groups text into our platform and follow the text message prompts.
3. Together, the group discusses mental health and how to help others.
4. Youth become more comfortable talking about mental health and learn where to get help.
RAISE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
When a young person experiences a mental health challenge, they often think they are the only ones who struggle. Our activity teaches them that they are not alone, and through conversation with their peers, they learn about other people’s challenges and triumphs. When we talk openly about mental health, we remove the stigma and learn that it’s ok to not be ok – and that there are ways to get better.
