Our Story

It all started in the post-pandemic era.

Being locked up at home, gradually losing touch with friends, teachers, and...the world, being stressed out about becoming ill, experiencing anxiety due to dramatic and unpredicted changes... We teenagers have been increasingly suffering from mental challenges that negatively affect our wellbeing.

Witnessing our peers being confused by depressive mood or even mental illnesses and experiencing challenges on our own, the two founders hopes to make a change. Successfully recruiting other aspiring members, the diverse, productive, and cooperative Team CM was set up, comprising caring teenagers who is either interested in psychology, sociology, biology, and/or art.

The team has made several attempts to achieve their goal: an exhibition on teenage mental health at campus, videos focused on how can struggling teenagers reach out for help, and interactive mail box where audiences can exchange their ways to elevate mood... Through these innovative and diverse means, the team hopes to make teenage mental health education and promotion more accessible in high schools and in the society.
