Did you know nearly 1 in 5 children have a diagnosable psychiatric concern? Mental health is one of the largest health problems facing young people today. From anxiety to depression, many are not even aware of these health problems that plague so many youth today. In Alberta alone, there are an estimated 200,000 children living with a mental health condition.

My name is Aaron and I'm your average high school teenager. I like to play games, have fun and make smiles happen. Badminton, soccer and technology are my interests. Anyways, make sure you volunteer lots around Calgary and maybe one day we'll run into each other, who knows? ;) @YAAaaron
