In this episode of Educate. Advocate. Empower: Youth Voices in Action, members of the GC ASAP Youth Council share what leadership really looks like from a student perspective. From their favorite retreat memories to launching the “Sad to Glad” seasonal depression campaign, these students open up about mental health, prevention, and why youth deserve a seat at the table.

They discuss Code Red coping strategies, the importance of checking in on friends, and how programs like Adultish 101 are helping teens build real-world skills — from financial literacy to car maintenance.

This conversation is honest, relatable, and full of encouragement for any student wondering where they belong.

Because prevention isn’t about scare tactics — it’s about education, empowerment, and community.
