Many youths will experience persistent mental health issues for some period of time, and in these times it is helpful to remember that you can find help and things will get better. Getting connected to your community can be a great way to alleviate persistent feelings of sadness or purposelessness. People who volunteer often describe it as therapeutic to help others. Additionally, by volunteering you get to connect with others and form connections. Talking with others about their experiences can be a great way of understanding your own problems, and can sometimes help alleviate feelings of being disconnected or alone.
Reading, listening, and learning more about your own mental health issues and how other people have dealt with problems similar to your own can also be a great way to improve mental heath and ultimately address underlying issues. It is for this reason we would like to highlight Understanding the Misunderstood, a podcast focused on mental health.
