"It's okay to seek help. You can always talk to your parents and tell them what happened to you so they can help," says 13-year-old Tala from Sudan, now living in Egypt. Tala encourages her peers to reach out to the people they trust if they are struggling with their mental health. Opening up may feel daunting, but it’s the first step to getting the support you need and deserve. #OnMyMind
