Informative Videos

Below is a handful of videos I have found to be educational and informative about current culture and society. For change to occur we must take action and one way to take action is to educate yourself. So for all my visual learners out there this one’s for you!

living with anxiety

I’ve never related to anything more than this video when it comes to my anxiety. This is actually the video I showed to my mom during my high school mental breakdown to try to explain to her what I was feeling. It can be difficult for loved ones to understand what you are battling with and I feel like this video gives an accurate representation of how it feels to live with my anxiety. 

We asked 100 people if they've ever considered suicide
