Heart-to-Heart
YMHC launched a nationwide "Heart to Heart" campaign in January 2024.
We hope that schools will create peer support teams and send hearts with messages of support to students who are absent from school due to mental health challenges. For too long, we have remained silent when a student is struggling with their mental health and not able to access and manage an education. "Out of sight, out of mind" is no longer.
There are many ways that people can contribute to youth mental health support, change, and action. We hope that this campaign will become a national campaign to support people of all ages.
When a student is absent, let them know you care.
