EMPOWERING OUR MINDS AND TAKING ACTION

Strength in Numbers presents an impactful video series designed to guide teens through the concerns of mental health, substance use awareness, and the pitfalls of perfectionism. This multimedia initiative aims to foster a generation that not only understands the importance of mental well-being, but also equips them with the tools to navigate life’s challenges resiliently.

We aim to strategically unfold a narrative that sheds light on the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol while addressing the social pressures that fuel perfectionism. By empowering teens to take charge of their mental health, the video encourages proactive steps towards cultivating a positive mindset and making informed lifestyle choices.

Thoughtful discussion questions accompany the content, fostering open dialogues and providing a platform for teens to share experiences, support one another, and collectively work towards a healthier and more resilient future.

LIVE NATURALLY HIGH

Strength in Numbers has partnered with Natural High to encourage young people to avoid drugs and alcohol by discovering their “natural high” — a passion or activity that brings them joy, purpose, and fulfillment without relying on substances. By focusing on these positive outlets, Natural High seeks to inspire youth to make healthy choices through stories like Bethany Hamilton’s, showing that drugs and alcohol don’t need to stand in the way of their potential.

THE PRESSURE TO BE PERFECT

“The pressure to be perfect is hard to break. When it’s shoved in your face every single day. Perfect lives splattered on our screens, the same old pictures on constant repeat.”
