This video shares common warning signs that may indicate a youth or young adult is experiencing mental health challenges.

Recognizing changes in behavior, emotions, or daily functioning early can help caregivers, educators, and communities offer support before challenges become more serious. Early conversations, connection, and access to resources can make a meaningful difference.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or needs immediate support, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7. You can also connect with a trusted mental health professional, school counselor, or local support organization for additional support.
