My Life is Worth Living tells the stories of teen characters who face some of the most difficult issues that young people deal with today: bullying, depression, abuse, discrimination, and trauma. It shows their evolution in the key decision: that life is worth living. Research shows that connections to friends, family, and community can be the difference between life and death. My Life is Worth Living uses the power of storytelling to create connections and combat loneliness. Our stories break down the stigma of talking about mental health and thoughts of suicide.
