Hi Yaari!!😊Thank you for sharing your story, you've always been an inspirational ✨ and role model for us here at CITC 💯
I've been looking for this kind of post in a long time. How do you ensure that your organization effectively supports youth dealing with mental health and substance use challenges? As someone who runs a dream interpretation channel, I'm curious to know how I can infuse more empathy and support into my videos for those struggling with similar issues. Your commitment to providing hope and healing is truly inspiring, and I've liked and subscribed to your channel to show my support.
So Great!!
