FOX26 aired a special news series on teens in crisis. This resulted in a great opportunity to
properly shine a light on mental health issues teens face. The Harris Center was tasked with
helping viewers understand what happens when people reach out for help, hoping that they
will be more likely to seek professional help if and when they need it. Three of our programs
were featured.
