#StandUp Multimedia Contest
David Lawrence Centers recently invited local middle and high school students to let their voices be heard by participating in our #StandUp Multimedia Contest. Through short essay, poem, song, and video submissions, youth were encouraged to be part of the conversation about how mental health has impacted their lives directly or indirectly.
Congratulations to our winners!
We received many thoughtful and creative submissions into our contest, and our Selection Committee gave much deliberation and careful consideration to all entries. Prizes will be given for winners in both the middle school and high school categories.
