About this event

STORYTELLING AS SUICIDE PREVENTION: GET TO KNOW YOUTH CREATING CHANGE

Through curriculums delivered through film and art contests, Youth Creating Change takes a youth-centered approach – equipping young people with the facts, skills, and resources they need to cope with tough times, recognize sign of distress, seek help, and support their peers.

Hear promising evidence from NYU researchers about school-based and peer-based youth suicide prevention approaches. Learn about resources to share with your own networks.

Meet youth storytellers who have used their creativity to reduce stigma, increase beloning, and foster a more supportive culture around youth mental health. Learn how their experiences can inform your initiatives.
