They share the backlash they faced and why they believe their peers need to "suck it up" in the face of adversity. Tune in to discover how teenagers and parents alike can cultivate resilience and embrace growth in the face of challenge.SHOWNOTES:The Torch Editorial: Students, Suck It UpMusic Credit: Line Up / POND 5©CATCH 2024To find all of the resources CATCH provides to caregivers of young people struggling with their mental health, go to www.catchiscommunity.org.Follow us on social media Facebook/Instagram/YouTube/Bluesky: @catchiscommunityCATCH, Community Action Together for Children's Health, is a 501(c)3 that provides support and education for families around mental health topics.
