A new project invited a group of young people to tell their stories of mental health resilience on camera — and become advocates in the process.
Six questions to ask to helpmake a safety planJulie Matsumoto, who worked with Sanchez on the project and also directed the film shoots, said the pandemic linked many young people together in a shared trauma.
Other young people who participated in the film series talked about alcoholism within their family, living with a family member with serious mental illness and personal involvement with the youth justice system.“You know, when I was younger, I didn’t know what mental health was. I didn’t know it was a thing ... Growing up I watched a lot of documentaries ... those stories of resilience, they helped me, so I wanted to start my journey of giving back to the community,” Nieves told LAist.
“I’ll be in the company, seeing employees and how they are ... and if I could help make life easier for them while they’re there,” Barrientos said. “I really want for people to not be afraid or scared to talk about what they are feeling.” “They attacked the car. And they literally almost beat him to death and there was blood all over, and I was only 5 years of age,” Sanchez remembered.
