Grant Snapshot: Story Studio is scaling the successful 'Guild of Young Writers' to address the youth mental health crisis. We will integrate a social-emotional learning/trauma-informed 'safety net' framework into our programming and transition to a robust, safety-first digital platform. This creates a secure, identity-affirming community where Victoria’s teens use storytelling to build resilience, emotional regulation, and social connection.
