They are both a part of this team that “...help support peers that are our age who struggle with mental health issues and other things that they may struggle with, like family issues, and they can just come and talk to us if they need to let it out and don't want to talk to an adult,” Risha said.

Kissell comments on the importance of the timing of the Mental Health Summit stating, “Especially this time of year, the holidays can be really rough on some people, and it's really nice just to kick back and relax and know that there are resources available if needed.”
