At YOS, we believe in rewriting the narrative around self-harm, moving away from stigma and toward understanding, away from silence and toward connection. Because belonging is not a luxury. For many young people, it is the first step toward healing.
As the city prepares for a weekend of fun, YOS wants to remind our young people: having fun and staying safe aren't mutually exclusive. We care about every single one of you. Have a great weekend, and come home safe. 💚
