Scared to know what youth really think? Don’t be. Youth have a lot to say about the issues and topics that affect them. Educators, parents and adults in general will enjoy this 4-part series produced by youth aged 16-18 living on rural Salt Spring Island who share their insights and perspectives on mental health, social media, the environment, identity and beliefs. Each episode offers personal insights along with a guest interview and follow-up reflection. To learn more about our youth and youth programs visit: http://TheCircleEducation.org.
