About Our Program
Our program is called Ten Faced 180, we are a part of pathways2progress and we help the youth with mental health. Our mission statement tells a lot about our group, what we believe in and what we are looking to accomplish, It says "Here at ten faced we believe in acknowledging teen mental disorders, connecting with our community in Franklin County as well as breaking the generational stereotype on teen mental health. We stand on teenagers mental health being normalized and not frowned upon any longer. We are working hard to perfect what we believe is the solution to improving Franklin County's youth mental health and well being". Ten Faced 180 is a program, that pays teens to peer mentor teenagers that enter into Spaceten. The purpose of the program is to recognize that mental health is bigger than us and we need help, we need to lean on each other to fight against the stigma.
