The mayor actually signed off on the Youth Mental Health Awareness day and I am honestly still reeling from the news. It feels like a total fever dream that we pulled this off but now the real work of building those community supports begins.

Petition to Michael B. Hancock, Mayor of the City and County of Denver
We as the Mayor’s Youth Commission would like to proceed with establishing a Youth Mental Health Awareness day, on May 11th, 2015. In which would create awareness to youth between the ages of 12-21 years old and later establish community supports and partnerships in supporting the targeting population. To bring forth this day would create a bigger systemic supports to our targeted population.
Please sign our petition!

I was looking at the screen and just realized how far this has moved from that first messy draft I typed up in my room. It is honestly kind of surreal sitting here realizing that so many people actually care about this mental health thing as much as we do.

I'm all for it. I shrecently heard of a 22 year old who took his life. His mother was afraid to admit him because she didn't thinke would have a say in the matter. I encouraged her to seek help for herself and her family now and to realize that today there isn't the same stigma of mental health like there was awhile back.

Education,treatment and acceptance of mental health issues are key to this issue along with increased funding.
Mental health awareness and care is sub-par in the US as a whole. Maybe we can start "small" and go from there.
Bringing awareness and resources to youth and mental health issues is so needed and valuable. Thank you for all you are doing!

I support this initiative! Mental health is underaddressed and very important in our community!
