You've Got a Friend in Me! MA students respond to our 2021 Youth Expressions Contest
Jun 8, 2021
How can you support a friend struggling with their mental health? We asked students to answer this through art in one of the following categories: audiovisual, written, or artistic still.
MAMH partnered with the Massachusetts Health Council for our second annual May is Mental Health "Youth Expressions" contest for middle school and high school students. Students across the Commonwealth used a range of art forms to describe how they support friends and maintain their own mental health - even during a pandemic.
We asked students to enter their submissions in one of the following categories: audiovisual, written, or artistic still. We were thrilled with the overwhelming response and quality of submissions. A wide variety of ideas from all over Massachusetts were submitted, demonstrating the importance of paying attention to our own mental health and supporting our friends with theirs.
