Youth Commissioners talk about Teen Stress

Our Youth Commission Chair, Nidhi Bandrapalli and Noah Weinstein, Chair of the Teen Stress and Happiness Committee, shared their perspectives and experiences on academic stress and mental health. The video was shared at StarVista's Navigating the Tides of Adolescense, a community event and discussion on teen stress and strategies for greater awareness of teen health. 

Nidhi and Noah gave insights on what life is like for Teens today and what they would like for parents and educators to know.  Watch the video here: Youth Voices
