About SSMS
Teen mental health is a major crisis in the United States, Saying Something Means Something was created to empower teens to feel their best and speak up in times of need. Our goal in combatting this crisis is to inspire those who are in need of a pick me up, and to make our community a better place. SSMS does this by sharing other teens experiences, offering resources for teens in need, and providing care bags to teens placed in psychiatric care units.
