Why did you join the allcove San Mateo Youth Advisory Group?

After the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns isolated vast portions of my friends, I was anguished by the fact that many of my friends were struggling with severe mental health issues, yet they couldn’t receive any help due to the stigma surrounding mental health at the time. I joined allcove’s San Mateo Youth Advisory Group because I want to provide affordable mental health services to youths of all ages that people can access stigma-free.
