The Dartmouth team partnered with the It Gets Brighter campaign to collect short video messages about mental health challenges. The video aims to let Native youths facing these challenges know that they are not alone and that these issues do not define them, and to reassure them that life can—and will—get brighter. The Provost’s office is hosting the launch party and premiere on Friday that is free and open to the public.
