Teens and parents, tell us about how young Americans are finding joy during hard times

The American medical community has declared a national emergency in youth mental health. So how are teens bucking the trend of rising sadness and finding sources of joy and hope?

If you’re a teen yourself, share your story with us. And parents, let us know if your teen wants to weigh in.

Fill out the questionnaire below — and if you can, please send us a voice recording of your responses. You can also submit responses and voice recordings to letters@hereandnow.org.

Your answers may be used on air.
