Behind the Smile is our new campaign for mental health awareness month shining a light on the hidden mental health struggles many teens face - especially those who seem “perfectly fine” on the outside.
You don’t need to be a mental health expert to make a difference. Here’s how you can help shine a light on the struggles that often go unseen:
1. Share the Message
Repost and interact with our campaign graphics, stories, and videos on social media. Every share helps reach someone who might feel unseen.
2. Start the Conversation
Talk to your friends, classmates, and teachers about what it means to really check in on someone - even if they seem “fine.”
3. Use Our School Resource Pack
If you’re a student, educator, or youth worker, request our free Behind the Smile school pack - including posters, information, and discussion prompts. Email us if you are interested at TalkingForTeens@Gmail.com
4. Tell Your Story
Your voice matters. Share your experience with us (anonymously or with a name) — your story could help someone else feel less alone. Click Here
5. Collaborate With Us
Are you a youth leader, creator, or mental health advocate? We’d love to team up with you. Get in touch at TalkingForTeens@Gmail.com
We’re talking about the students getting straight A’s, the ones always smiling, always helping others - and silently falling apart.
A simple, safe space for you to share your own experiences (anonymously or with a name).
You don’t have to look like you’re struggling to deserve support.
Let’s look behind the smile.
