Mental Health Support by Teens for Teens - The Persevere Project

Brothers, high school students, and content creators Ashton and Carter Kroeger have created the  youth mental health nonprofit Persevere Project to support other teens.  Their platform includes TikTok videos that showcase Carter's music and singing, as well as a website where adolescents can reach out for help.   In this episode, we talk about what challenges they see other students facing, what inspired the creation of the organization, and what impact their efforts are having on changing and saving lives.
