"Sharing Hope"
Teen Videos on Depression
​​
Wooten teens worked diligently in early 2021 creating the seven short videos below to help raise awareness about youth and depression during the pandemic. We thank them for their patience and care in producing videos to help youth and adults understand and cope with depression.
Thank you to our sponsor Community Response System of South Los Angeles for their concern for our students' mental health and for providing a $1,500 grant for youth stipends and other expenses.
​
Thank you to volunteer director Lorena Bourdevaire Casillas, intern Celeste Ponce, parent Regina Christine Crayton, and the therapists below for their expertise and care in guiding our students.
