Ose Arheghan - Arheghan, a 17-year-old from Shaker Heights, Ohio, who uses the pronoun "they," started their activism working on LGBTQ issues.Here are eight youth mental activists - many of whom also serve on MHA's council - whose work you should be paying attention to: They're taking advantage of the work activists have previously done to decrease the stigma of talking about mental health, and they're creating their own legacy by fundamentally changing the way young people discuss and seek help for mental illness. These young advocates are developing apps, founding nonprofit organizations, coordinating fundraising drives, and building campus-wide support networks. What you may know less about is the new generation of activists raising awareness about mental illness and developing innovative solutions to help bridge the gap between needing help and actually getting it. You've probably heard that they're organizing for gun violence prevention, defending LGBTQ rights, and defining global feminism. If there's one thing 2018 has taught the world, it's that we shouldn't underestimate today's youth. Read more about making mental health a priority.
