The Colorado Attorney General, mental health organizations, filmmakers, families and teenagers have come together to combat teen suicide in Colorado.

On Tuesday the group launched a new awareness campaign, Teens2Teens, at the Ralph L. Carr Judicial Building in Denver.

KDVR reports that "the goal is to support teen-to-teen conversations, raise awareness about youth suicide and highlight resources available for support".

Colorado has the highest rate of teen suicide in the country.

Teens2Teens reaches teens on social media with other teens speaking about how suicide impacted their life and the mental health struggles they deal with.

 

Hopefully this campaign will help students speak out about their struggles with mental health.

The Teens2Teens campaign is on YouTube and Instagram.
