What is NH Voices?
#ReadyToBeHeard
NH Voices is an opportunity for your voice to be heard, and for you to speak out for your generation, your peers, and yourself. Share the facts, shatter stereotypes and share accomplishments you and your peers have worked toward by visiting NH Voices social platforms: Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube and Spotify.
Kids are resilient and stepping up to the plate each day and making a difference in their community.
Below are a few opportunities you can reach out to and make a difference in your community.
Catie’s Closet was formed in 2010 by a student in NH. The organization was formed to help struggling students that lacked clothing and basic necessities. Today, they operate closets in 115 schools and serve more than 75,000 students daily.

Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) was formed in 1981 by students and a teacher when two hockey players were killed in two separate car crashes in the same month. SADD is student lead at the national and state levels, rooted in our school and community-based, peer-to-peer chapters. They develop and share prevention programming to engage students in the pursuit of healthy decision-making.

Quotes from NH Youth
We want to hear from New Hampshire’s next generation.
The goal of NH Voices is to empower the next generation with the correct facts about behavioral health, mental health, and to educate the next generation. We do this by hosting free workshops for students to create digital content (The Grateful game, photos, videos, thought bubbles, gifs and Snapchat filters) to share amongst their peers.
For Students
You are not the stereotypes that surround you. Our goal is to empower you with facts so you can shatter myths and free your voice.
For Parents
NH Voices is a grant-funded effort, partnering with the Governor’s Youth Advisory Council, to create and share digital content from the perspective of middle and high school students. We share the next generation’s voices instead of talking “at” them. Looking for resources, visit nhcsoc.org.
For Educators
Instead of being preachy (which studies have proven not to resonate), we focus on strengths-based language by listening to students in unscripted ways talk about school, behavioral health, mental health, social media, and anything else. During these free content workshops, students share what matters most to them.
