Breaking Barriers (Rompiendo Barreras) is an annual event advocating for mental health awareness created by teens, for teens!

Join us for a powerful day to share thoughts, ideas, art, and music by teens, for teens!

Breaking Barriers is an annual event led by the teens in the ESB-MACC's Caminos Teen Leadership Program. It is a safe space to "break barriers" in mental health stigmas for teens and find connection with one another!

Breaking Barriers is a space for conversation, connection, and creation–We want to empower each other to break barriers, talk about our experiences (or not), and heal through creating, and building community with other teens (Ages 13-18).

You may also receive HS Volunteer Credit from attending - see below for more details.
