We can get better together

This art piece represents what I would say to a friend in need. Shared experiences and friends help people open up and speak their mind.

Count On Me

This dance piece is about sometimes feeling alone and stuck, but with the help of others you can always find your way.

You Are Never A Bother

|

It is important to us that people know they aren’t a bother. Their problems matter, and there are people who care about what they are going through. We have seen people feel like they don’t have anyone to talk to, and we want to help make our school and community a more welcoming and caring place.

You Are Never A Bother

|

It is important for my friends to know that they are never a bother. They can come to me with any problems, and as a peer mentor, I want to be there for my friends and point them in the right direction.

It’s not too late

|

I worked so hard to find simple symbols that represented mental health, and through this, I found many ways to say “things will get better” and “its okay to be flawed” in the language of art. there are many ways to seek help, and art is yet another way to do so.

Empathy

|

If you’re ever in a situation where your friend is acting distant and stops hanging out with you, then you should reach out to that person and offer them your support.
