Together, we can change the conversation around mental health

In Chris' own words: "The conversation is never over and it’s important for our youth to feel supported in society today. To speak out about how they feel; to have it be addressed instead of blown off. And most importantly, for our youth to feel like they are enough. Suicide rates are through the roof and that NEEDS to change. We need to seriously address this problem and this isn’t much but it is a start"
