Event
Through music, spoken word, raps and personal stories, young people speak out about their challenges with mental health. They share their anxieties, experiences of depression, and even about their attempts to end their lives, along with what is helping them recover. While their experiences may be confronting, audiences invariably come away moved, uplifted and inspired by the openness and courage the young people display.
