Teenage mental health Support
Mission and hope
Why did we start CM?
Teenagers are prone to depressive moods considering they are constantly faced with pressure and challenges. During the COVID-19 pandemic, dramatic changes render teenagers even more likely to be subjected to negative moods and mental health problems. Even though we are now in the post-pandemic period, the pandemic’s mental toll on teenagers continues to threaten their mental well-being, addressing a more urgent need to raise awareness of teens’ mental health and offer solutions to mental distress and disorder risks.
We decided to start “Caring minds^2”(CM), to encourage teenagers to be respectful to and care for their peers. We approach the subject of “teen’s mental health” using psychological, sociological, and biomedical perspectives, and hopes to lead our peers to be aware of their own mental status, be capable of reaching out for help, and respect those who are suffering from mental challenges.
Our Mission and Hope
1. We aspire to provide helpful and detailed information (facts about mental illnesses, biological/pathological basis of common mental diseases, methods to relieve stress and elevate mood, ways to find help, common and less common therapies) for those who need them
2. We hope to encourage our teenagers to place more emphasis on their mental wellbeing and that of their peers, and emphasize with those who are suffering from mental challenges
3. We aim to encourage our readers to approach mental health from not only psychological but also biological and sociological perspectives, to get a deeper understanding of this topic
