Refuge: An Exploration of Youth Mental Health

Youth Underground performs original plays that investigate social issues relevant to young people. This year's theme is "Youth Mental Health". This is a new play exploring youth mental health. Created over a six-week, this play is intensive and drawn from interviews with Youth Underground teens and members of their community, Refuge considers questions like, "Why do we only address mental health when there's a crisis?", "Why do adults often seem dismissive or unprepared for youth mental health challenges?", and "How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the mental health of youth?".
