Our Support System
Just as we encourage all of you to form a support system, we have done the same! The 16 Strong Project would like to give a special thanks to the mental health experts and educational professionals who provided us with guidance during the creation of our resources and programming. We are acknowledging those individuals who have given their endless support and selfless contribution of time, energy and experience to help make the 16 Strong Project happen!
