Oregon City High School Students Tackle Youth Mental Health
Don’t Bear The Load Alone
This campaign was created by students, for students. Through hands-on learning about primary prevention, they explored the real factors impacting youth mental health, identified a key risk and protective factor to focus on, and brought their vision to life—crafting a message, designing materials, and building a peer-driven Instagram campaign to spark connection and awareness.
