Together We Rise: Empowering Youth and Strengthening Mental Health in Our Community

Consort's project aims to build off previous projects and continue to foster mental health awareness and support within their community, focusing on youth engagement and intergenerational connection. Building on their existing mental health video
series, they are collaborating with local schools to create a new video titled “Together We Rise: Mental Health in Our Community.” This video will feature youth voices discussing mental health, resilience, and the importance of supporting one another. It will emphasize community involvement in promoting mental well-being.

Additionally, Consort will bring in a Mental Health Speaker to empower youth by normalizing struggles with mental health and providing resources for support. This speaker will help reduce stigma and offer practical guidance for seeking help.

To further enhance connection across generations, they will host intergenerational activities, including crafts, cooking, games, and day trips. These activities have shown to reduce isolation and strengthen community bonds, allowing youth and seniors to share experiences and support one another.

Finally, to ensure every individual has access to resources, they will distribute Wellness Toolbox Kits during Mental Health Week. These kits will include community mental health resources and items that promote well-being. The toolboxes will serve as both a resource and a conversation starter, spreading awareness and empowering individuals to prioritize their mental health.

Together, these initiatives will provide a comprehensive approach to mental health awareness, support, and resilience within the community.
