Young people across Washington are taking significant steps to advance mental health support within their communities, utilizing leadership, peer support, and advocacy. The Therapy Fund Foundation is at the forefront of this initiative through its Youth Mental Health Ambassador Program, which equips young individuals to aid their peers and dismantle the stigma associated with mental health, with a particular focus on Black communities. This program was highlighted on the Seattle Medium’s Rhythm & News Podcast, featuring Ashley McGirt, founder and CEO of The Therapy Fund Foundation.
