We Need to Talk is...

(This should pull from the page content so it's editable without our help) A community-wide initiative, sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, focused on raising awareness about youth mental illness, and providing tools and resources for those in need of care. This program and website is for teens and other young people, parents and family members, teachers and other professionals. By bringing this issue into the light – and telling our stories – we can lift the stigma associated with mental health challenges and begin to address the problems we face as a community.
