Teens today are at the center of a mental health epidemic in America. Anxiety, trauma, depression, eating disorders and addiction are responsible for the highest rates of suicide ever recorded among young people.
BRAVE TEENS is a documentary film focused on teenagers who say they’re the generation to put an end to mental health stigma. To do it, they’re telling their own stories – raw and unfiltered. From skyrocketing rates of anxiety and depression to the impacts of racial and intergenerational trauma, these teens share their struggles and triumphs and carry a powerful message: Storytelling saves lives. [Coming October 2021]
BRAVE TEENS is a production of Principle Pictures for WETA in partnership with Well Beings, a major public media, multi-platform campaign from WETA committed to demystifying and de-stigmatizing our physical and mental health through storytelling. BRAVE TEENS features storytellers from This is My Brave, an organization committed to de-stigmatizing mental health issues through live storytelling and scientific research.
