HereNow is a Jewish teen-led mental health movement that supports wellness and emotional resilience through creativity, events, and innovative online platforms.

We provide a platform and network for teens to meet, share what matters to them, and include their friends and peers in the conversation. The more open teens are about their feelings and challenges, the more open their friends, classmates, and families are likely to be about theirs.
