Youth in Charge

Created by Step Up youth 2025

Sometimes the most important step is listening. Taking time to listen to the concerns of a young person in your life can help them feel safe sharing what they’re experiencing. https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/children-and-families #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MHAM2026

No matter who you are, your mental health matters. Proud of who you are. Proud to support you.

You are not alone. Know that there is support.

Serious mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression are medical conditions, not personal failures. Learning helps increase understanding. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-support/helping-someone #MHAM2026 #SeeThePerson

Don’t let smoke cloud your future.

Choices today shape where you go tomorrow. What may seem like a quick escape can slowly blur your focus, drain your motivation, and hold you back from the goals you’re working so hard to reach.
