‘We Hear You’: Lima youth start mental health campaign
By Mackenzi Klemann - mklemann@limanews.com
LIMA Concerned about incidences of mental illness among youth, Lima students are launching a public service campaign to help their peers learn about their mental health and remind those who are struggling that they are not alone.
The We Hear You campaign, founded by the latest cohort of Allen Lima Youth Leadership graduates, tweets positive messages and makes bumper stickers so people know the facts about mental illness, which often develops during adolescence.
“We want to make sure that people know that we’ll be here,” said Braden Yingst, a junior from Perry High School and recent graduate of the Allen Lima Youth Leadership class, made up of 32 students from Lima-area high schools who attend leadership classes and create their own community service campaigns.
