It Started When We Listened

The We Got Us Movement was born from a collective realization: youth are not just in need of services. We are part of the solution. Our story began with a simple act of listening—gathering the voices of young people across our communities to create a national platform for peer-to-peer mental wellness and civic engagement.
“We are the change we have been waiting for.”
— The We Got Us Movement
HEAL
Young people receive tools to understand their emotions, recognize signs of distress, support
their peers responsibly, and connect one another to trusted adults and professional resources.
CREATE
Youth use music, poetry, writing, storytelling, theater, movement, visual art, and digital media as
tools for healing and advocacy.
LEAD
Young people become Peer Mental Health Ambassadors, mentors, researchers, facilitators,
organizers, and community representatives.
ADVOCATE
Students study the issues affecting their schools and communities, develop policy
recommendations, and bring their ideas to decision-makers.
TRANSFORM
Young people turn lived experience, research, and advocacy into programs, public campaigns,
policy proposals, and legislation.
THE IMPACT
We are transforming the national conversation on youth mental health through peer-led action and civic engagement.
