18-Year-Old's Initiative for Mental Health Awareness

18-Year-Old's Initiative for Mental Health Awareness

Vaikhari, a teenager, started a group called Aatman to help kids with their mental health.

She used her own experience with anxiety and therapy to create helpful resources.

Aatman teaches students about emotions, substance abuse and how to get help.

They use workshops, booklets, and a radio show to reach many students.

Vaikhari wants to make mental health information easy to find and wants kids to know it's okay to seek help.

The group focuses on self-care methods, like meditation, and encourages seeking professional help when needed.
