How can we improve mental health support in schools? Jordan Wells TEDxYouth@BeaconStreet

Jordan explains her journey with adolescent mental health. She saw a lack of support at her school and beyond. Teenagers like Jordan are all around us, silently yearning for help, help they rarely find where they spend most of their time; at school. The system will be fixed through achievement, awareness and resources. Jordan explores approaches to connecting with and alleviating the suffering of adolescents struggling with mental health issues.
