For youth:

• Do your parents misunderstand mental health? Would you like to discuss mental health with them but feel like you can't?
• Is it because your parents come from a country where mental health is viewed differently?
• Check out this video with your parents! It may help break down the barriers!

For parents:

• Have you heard much about mental health? Do you want to know more? Would you like to know how to help your kids with their mental health?
