About
Teen Minds Matter is a project that aspires to educate teenagers on mental health, more in-depth than just the basics! Our general goal is to clearly define mental health, explore the history of it, and provide ways on how to handle it. Mental health is something everyone should be aware of and understand how to handle, even if it's on a very basic level. We especially want to bring awareness to the mental health of teens, as teens tend to be burdened with a lot, are unaware of how to handle some situations, or are surrounded with people who brush off their issues.
For some teens, there sometimes exists a lack of space where they can truly let our their feelings or simply talk to someone. With this blog we also seek to create a community where teens are able to talk, relate, and give advice.
Mental health is extremely important, and it's necessary that teenagers are at least somewhat in tune with their own mental health as they go through a stressful period of their life. Together, let's learn and build a safe space!
HI! I'M VICTORIA
I'm a junior in high school based in New York, with an interest in psychology. Mental health is a topic constantly brought up in my life, by those around me and myself, inspiring me to start a blog to educate people on more than just the basic idea of mental health. I also know how hard it is to reach out at times, and seek to create a safe space where other teenagers could talk and connect about their problems. Possibly in relation to topics like the origin of mental health, what it really is, why it is important to prioritize - it's relevance in academics, societal issues, and so much more.
