YMCA Launches Interactive Teen Mental Health Resource Hub for Mental Health Awareness Month
 As teen mental health challenges reach alarming levels, the NC Alliance of YMCAs is stepping up with a new interactive Teen Mental Health Resource Hub, now live at www.ncymcas.org/YMCATeenMentalHealth.
The Hub, launched in time for Mental Health Awareness Month in May, offers teens an engaging mental health style quiz, an emoji-style check-in, and direct links to support. Built with teens in mind, it emphasizes one key message: you are not alone.
“Our goal is to make it easier—and less intimidating—for teens to start conversations about mental health,” said Sheree Vodicka, CEO of the NC Alliance of YMCAs. “We want every teen to know that it’s okay to not feel okay all the time, that support is out there, and it’s okay to ask for help.”
The Resource Hub anchors a broader statewide campaign powered by digital outreach through Snapchat, YouTube, Google Ads, billboards, and grassroots efforts at local YMCAs. Teens are even joining the movement by painting QR codes featuring the campaign’s rallying cry: FEEL IT. FACE IT. TOGETHER. Learn more.
