In life, we sometimes struggle with things that we find difficult to tell others about. Perhaps your confessions of guilt, fear, anger, regret, or even desires.
We believe that no one should bear the burden of these unspoken feelings alone. Staying silent for too long could take its toll on us, and possibly lead to mental health concerns.
As part of a social movement to get youths to Burst the Silence, this postcard project is a collaboration between CHAT and Letters to Amanda. Send in a postcard to the address below to share your unspoken words/feelings with us. Burst the silence now.
