About this episode

This episode explores the connection between student advocacy and teen mental health, emphasizing the impact of small actions in schools and communities.

Advocacy isn’t just about big speeches or national movements — it starts with showing up. Whether it’s standing up for a peer, organizing a service project, or speaking out about mental health, student voice has the power to create real change. Today, we’re exploring how service and advocacy connect to teen mental health — and how small actions can create meaningful impact in schools and communities. In this episode, we're joined by a special guest from the National Association of Secondary School Principals who sponsor National Student Council and National Honor Society, Jen Silva , to talk about Showing Up & Speaking Out: The Power of Student Advocacy.
