Youth Voices for Mental Health

Youth Voices for Mental Health is a collection of art, short films, and narratives received by young people across California as part of the Hope & Justice Contest in partnership with the CalHOPE Schools Initiative.

In 2022, the CalHOPE Schools Initiative partnered with the Hope & Justice Art & Film Contest to put youth voices at the center of conversations about mental health and access to mental health services through creative expression. Young people have a lot to say about mental health and what they need to feel supported. We hope you feel inspired. Thank you CalHOPE for giving a platform to their voices!

Funded as part of the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), The CalHOPE Schools Initiative offers no-cost resources for students and schools to support relationships, build resilience, and provide inspiration and support for students, educators and families.
