Access Team Co-Lead, William, was interviewed by Webster-Kirkwood Times Newspaper and shared how the pandemic negatively affected his mental health, but ultimately fueled him to help other teens in similar positions. In the article William states, “I am so grateful I was able to get out of that place because I have a really good support system with my family,” he said. “It makes me sad that a lot of students really don’t have that to fall back on, so I think having come out of that, I really want to be a person who can support getting help and mental health education.” William plans to major in psychology when he goes to college next year, and continue his mental health advocacy journey.
