WHAT’S THE ‘POINT’ TO THE IN-TOUCH CAMPAIGN?

​

The IN-TOUCH Campaign is quite literally central to all that we do at Hold Your Crown. We are building a movement to dismantle the stigma of youth mental illness by putting young people IN TOUCH with resources that will get them on the path of mental wellness.

LEARN OUR STORY

Dedication to Youth Mental Wellness

So many kids and young adults I know are self- medicating, suffering from eating disorders, depression, anxiety and cutting with no support to get help. I had to ask myself why is all this happening?  The answer is clear. The stigma about youth mental illness is real and it is life threatening.  So I decided that youth mental illness would be the cause I focus on as my band received more public attention. The bravest thing any of us can do is get help. Through youth helping youth – peer to peer we can change perception and dismantle stigma.

Before this Hold Your Crown Presentation, I kept everything about how I have been feeling to myself so that other kids would not call me out on my cutting. King Youngblood kept it real and gave our class a list of confidential resources to look into.  Cameron was so cool to talk to especially when he told us how dope his therapist is.  People most days have no idea what I am going through but today I felt seen.”
