DIRECTING CHANGE

Youth Creating Change is a non-profit organization (501 c3) dedicated to placing young people's voices and creativity at the center of suicide prevention and mental health programming. Our mission is to educate young people about mental health, suicide prevention and other critical health and social justice issues through the creation of art and film projects; to facilitate healing and belonging through creative expression, and to support schools and communities through curriculums, trainings, and awareness activities in creating safe spaces where young people feel seen, heard, and supported in reaching out for help... The Mental Health Thrival Kits were culturally adapted for Korean-American and Filipino-American youth. Check out the adapted Korean and Filipino versions here. A big thank you to LACDMH, our community partners The K.W. Lee Center for Leadership, Search to Involve Philipino Americans (SIPA) Youth Leaders, Giovanni Ortega. and young people from the community, and artists..
