We need to help young people and their parents understand that it's not a sign of weakness to ask for help.

Parents, teachers, and other school staff need the tools to help these young people early in their lives. And the earlier, the better. It is proven that early action prevents problems later in life.

Young people need models, not critics.

My biggest crisis is that I don't understand what young people like.

With the right help, children have a good chance of overcoming their issues while they are still young and can have the bright future they deserve.

I realized my calling was to use the arts and ministry to help young people.
