🌟 Calling all students in grades 8-12! 🌟 Join Brighter Tomorrows, a youth-led group dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and su***de prevention. This is your chance to make a real difference, support your peers, and build a stronger, more caring community. Ready to use your voice for change? Together, we can shine a light on mental health and create hope for a brighter tomorrow! We meet twice a month at Petals of Peace, where members gather to discuss and plan upcoming events and share updates. These meetings provide an opportunity for everyone to connect and collaborate in a welcoming environment.

Our next meeting is Wednesday April 1 so grab a friend or two and check us out. Have a snack and have your voice heard. Everyone is welcome!
