Yellow Tulip Project

The Yellow Tulip Project works with high school students to increase their awareness of mental health issues, empower them to educate their peers and community, combat stigma associated with mental illness, and build community to remind people that there is always help and hope. Through this project, the students will be planting a HOPE Garden of yellow tulips and will invite the community for various related events.

More information is coming soon!
