You Matter
A mental health crisis on campus is exposing questions of meaning, purpose, and connection, resulting in fear and violence. And the world is only getting more complex. Amid these challenges, students are also the least hopeful they’ve been in history.
This moment of flux is also a moment of opportunity. What if students took the pain they experienced from bullying, isolation and hopelessness, and used it as motivation to create inclusive environments? What if instead of being the reason they don’t go to school, become violent, harm themselves, it’s the reason they find hope and purpose?
Through heightened education, community mobilization, advocacy and youth empowerment, Be Strong strives to save and change lives by shining a light on social environment safety and acceptance, enhance knowledge about the help/resources available and aggregate professional service providers. Join the Be Strong Movement.

What are the characteristics of strong mental health?
Mental health is more than just the absence of mental illness. Positive mental health is a combination of feeling good and functioning well.
Young people’s mental health is finally getting the attention it needs
Although most mental-health disorders arise during adolescence, only one-third of investment in mental-health research is targeted towards young people.
When Teens Need Their Friends More Than Their Parents
For many parents, the truth is hard to admit: Adolescents begin to rely less and less upon adults in their lives and more heavily on their peers. Starting to let go is difficult. But teens’ reliance on buddies is good for their development and sense of belonging.
