Wish You Knew …

We’re confronting the mental health crisis by focusing on the barriers that prevent students from getting support. Rates of depression, stress, and anxiety among young people have skyrocketed. And, it’s getting worse.

The Washtenaw County Health Department has teamed up with Washtenaw County Community Mental Health on a campaign to address community concerns about youth mental health and to reduce stigma.

Driven by community conversations, the Wish You Knew Washtenaw campaign aims to spark honest and supportive conversations about mental health between youth and adults. We hope that if we can share our truth with trusted people in our lives, we can begin to heal.
