Many teenagers who don’t have a stable place to live face serious mental health challenges. They are more likely to struggle with depression, thoughts of suicide, and drug use compared to those who have stable homes. Unfortunately, there aren’t many proven ways to help these young people.

This project aims to find ways to support these teens by focusing on the people and places around them—like teachers, schools, and neighborhoods. The idea is that strong relationships and safe environments can help improve their mental health.
