Sacramento Youth Mental Health

Sacramento Youth Mental Health We're an entirely youth-led mental health resource and activism group based in Sacramento, California We were inspired by a similar event in the Bay Area.

Too often, we’ve watched our friends, family members, and those in our community fall into losing battles with mental illnesses. This is partially the fault of stigma and systemic outlooks. For instance, students rarely interact with mental health resources until after their first breakdown, first panic attack, or even worse. We aim to break that pattern by stressing the importance of general well

ness - the concept that everyone has mental health that is as important as physical health. With this proactive approach, we hope to stop the symptoms of common mental health issues before they become seriously degrading. Our initiatives are aimed at every transition-aged youth in Sacramento County. Regardless of your background with mental health issues, you are welcome. We want to create a safe space filled with diverse attendees - a group that can circulate life stories and experiences to increase mental health awareness, decrease stigma, and (most importantly) help all of us live better lives. Founded several years ago, Teeztalk continues to annually educate students with local mental health resources and partners. Unfortunately, those resources are primarily Bay Area based. That’s why we founded our own initiative for Sacramento students. Even though our team was already generally familiar with mental health resources for Sacramento youth, the development of this team has opened our eyes to a vast array of resources we never would’ve discovered on our own. We hope that we can help bridge that gap with our peers from around the country. Additionally, we hope to inspire those we interact with to bring their new knowledge home to their own schools and communities; as the knowledge spreads, so does our region’s ability to look out for one another. We'd like to thank our generous corporate sponsors and all those who have personally furthered our project, both financially and organizationally. For everyone visiting this page, I also urge you to contribute anything you’re able to, and I hope to see you at our events!

Hi, my name is Palak Bains and I’m proud to be apart of SacYMH! I decided to join SacYMH because I don’t know much about mental health and feel like it isn’t well known and talked about. I decided to join to spread awareness about the importance of mental health in people.

Hi I’m Bhumi and I’m currently a senior in high school! For fun I love to hang out with my friends and family, play the piano and dance. I also have a pet turtle and a dog who I love to spend time with. I’m really passionate about mental health especially among teenagers, which is why I decided to join this organization last year. I’m so excited for this year of Sac ymh!

Hi everyone! My name is Sheetal, and I’m so excited for another year of SacYMH! I first joined in my freshman year, and I’m now a senior at McClatchy. Coming out of the pandemic, I have always believed that mental health needs to be de-stigmatized and shown more awareness, especially in teens, so I’m empowered to be an advocate for Sacramento youth. What I’ve always loved about SacYMH is our focus on a peer-to-peer approach and our ability to connect with those in our community, providing support where we can. I’m so proud of everything this group has accomplished in my past years, and I can’t wait to continue supporting others and their mental wellbeing.
