Introducing You Are Okay: A New Mental Health Resource for Young People
At the Child Mind Institute, we believe that every young person deserves straightforward guidance they can trust. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of You Are Okay, a new digital resource created specifically for teens and young adults navigating mental health challenges.
What Is You Are Okay?
You Are Okay is a resource hub designed to give young people the tools, knowledge, and support they need to care for their mental health. Guided by the same values as the Child Mind Institute’s Family Resource Center, You Are Okay offers content that’s expert-backed, easy to understand, and actually speaks to what it’s like to grow up right now.
What You’ll Find
- Mental health guides written for teens and young adults, covering topics like anxiety, depression, self-harm, relationships, and more.
- A growing community where young people can share their stories and experiences — because knowing you’re not alone is powerful.
- Content that’s helpful, hopeful, and honest — always.

A Personal Connection
You Are Okay began as the passion project of Jenny Jaffe, an Emmy-nominated comedy writer and performer, who grew up with mental health challenges and wanted to make it easier for others to get help, talk about how they’re feeling, and find their way forward. Her vision of empathy, creativity, and courage lives at the heart of everything we do.
Whether you’re a young person, a parent, an educator, or just someone who cares, we hope you’ll explore youareokay.org. And if you know someone who could use it, please pass it on. Sometimes, knowing there’s a place built just for you can be the first step toward feeling better.
