Meet Ryan & Terence. These days most youth seem to get a bit of a bad rap which perhaps isn't really fair. Anyway, a couple of days ago I was contacted by Terence asking for an interview for a school project. Ryan & Terence attend Lakeshore CI and they are working on a project for their Civics class on Philanthropy & Community organizations. I welcomed them in to the FAME office and I met with them late today(Friday May 1st). I have to say I really like these guys. In the middle of this interiew they realized how little they really new about mental illness and the issues around it. Out of this, I found myself saying to them "well....how about you help us (FAME) understand how much youth really understand about mental heatlh....". They were total gamers and by 6 p.m. today we worked together and have put up a survey on line, directed specifically to youth between 13-24 years of age. It was just a small list of really basic questions.....hey, it doesn't have to be complicated does it? We just have to ask the questions, right? The goal is to get 1,000 responses by the end of May. So if you are between the ages of 13-24 years....we want to hear from you! What you have to say is important to us. So if you'd like to particpate in this survey click on this link:

What youth think is important to us. We need to hear from you.
Thanks,
Christine, Ryan & Terence
