Founded by a teen, for teens
I’m Owen, the founder of Talking for Teens, a youth-led mental health platform I started after seeing how many people my age were struggling in silence. I wanted to create something real and something that actually speaks our language.
As a young person myself, I know what it feels like to deal with pressure, loss, and everything that comes with growing up today.
That’s why Talking for Teens exists, to make sure no one feels alone, and to show that change can start with us.
Current Campaign
UNREAD
UNREAD is a youth mental health awareness campaign by TFT exploring the feelings, struggles and conversations young people often keep hidden.
Inspired by unread messages, unsent thoughts and the pressure to always seem “okay”, the campaign shines a light on the things teenagers carry silently every day.
Through creative content, honest conversations and community awareness, UNREAD aims to remind young people that what they’re feeling matters, and that no feeling should be left unread.
