We will not give up any opportunity to save a life...

and continue to spread mental health awareness
to better the Chinese communities...

<My Life Is Worth Living> is a series of animated short films to
promote adolescent mental health and prevent suicide.

All videos are available in Chinese, allowing parents to find an effective and
compassionate bridge for parent-child dialogue while watching with their children.

Encourage each other,  learn from each other,
walk out from the desert of worries and find your oasis...
