Mission
Our mission is to raise awareness about mental health issues among youth and promote a culture of openness, support, and self-care. We strive to empower youth to learn and pursue their passions in STEM fields, while also prioritizing their mental health and well-being.
Vision
We envision a world where all young people have access to quality STEM education and resources, as well as the knowledge and tools to take care of their mental health. Through our program, we aim to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, increase awareness about resources and support available, and provide a platform for youth to engage in meaningful conversations about mental wellness. We believe that a healthy mind and body are essential for success in any field, and we are committed to supporting youth in achieving their full potential in both STEM and mental health.
