Advocates

Naomi Burakovsky - Founder and Advocate

A junior in high school, I have noticed how many of my peers struggle with their mental health, often in silence. I founded Youth Voices for Mental Health to provide youth with innovative, youth-focused resources, including hotlines, games, and presentations, to make mental health support accessible and relatable. As an Eagle Scout and an advocate for youth mental health, I have combined leadership skills and my passion for community service to create impactful resources. I believe that together, we can make mental health support accessible for every student.

Malana Schreiber - Advocate 

Hello! My name is Malana and I am currently a high school junior. I have struggled with mental health in the past, so I want to share tools and spread awareness to help others who may be having a difficult time. Through Youth Voices for Mental Health, I seek to destigmatize mental health and encourage conversation about challenging topics. Mental health needs to be talked about, and through presentations and resources, I hope to educate youth in the communities around me.
