0406: Zero Reasons Why

Our topic today is a very important, very heavy one: mental health. Rachel introduces you to a very important and innovative program in Kansas that is working to make the stigma that surrounds talking about mental health issues a thing of the past. 
​
Zero Reasons Why is a program that is teaching teens the skills they need to be able to make mental health a normal part of our daily lives. Rachel talks with Kyra Fuchs, who is a teen council member of Zero Reasons Why. 

Because this is such an important topic, we want to provide some resources in case you, or someone you love is struggling with mental health issues and could use some help: 

• The national suicide prevention lifeline is 1-800-273-8255
• You can text the crisis line by texting 'Home' to 741741
• And, if you are struggling with mental health, but not suicidal, you can find a lot of mental health resources at www.mentalhealth.gov.
