1N5 of Us: Changing the Mental Health Landscape
1,000 Solutions - Introduction
Show Notes

Today, we are excited to introduce a 5 episode series podcast, 1000 solutions, created by members of the Youth Council for Suicide Prevention (YCSP).  The YCSP is jointly facilitated by 1N5 and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The goal of the podcast is to normalize therapy while educating individuals on the various coping strategies you can employ to optimize your own well-being. In this episode, we hear a little about Diya and Juila’s mental health journeys and why they decided to join the YCSP.  We hope you enjoy!  

The Youth Council for Suicide Prevention was initiated in 2013 by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Emergency Department to address the need for continued attention to suicide prevention in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since then, approximately 100 youth have served on the council. In 2018, the YCSP began working in conjunction with 1N5.  YCSP values the voice of young people and aims to empower youth to address an issue that has a profound effect on them. Members are recruited from area schools and most members have dealt with suicide first-hand through family, friends, or their own attempts. Since its foundation, YCSP has contributed to the work of CCHMC in a variety of ways.
