Hear/SAY
Hear/SAY is the BHT Impact Youth & Family Creators' Collaborative, a paid program open to youth and young adults aged 13–26 to shape behavioral health conversations. Through multiple ways to participate, youth and caregivers directly contribute to BHT Impact's articles, tools, and educational resources.
​
In legal terms, hearsay is an out-of-court testimony offered to prove the truth of whatever it asserts. It is typically dismissed, not because it lacks truth, but because the person who said it isn't in the room directly to be heard. We borrowed that idea intentionally. The voices of youth and families are set aside in behavioral health, not because their experiences lack truth, but because they are rarely given a seat at the table to speak for themselves.
​
Hear/SAY exists to ensure they are in the room.
