Young Innovator in Behavioral Health Awardee

Patrick became the "annoyingly pro-therapy" friend in his group after overcoming an eating disorder as a teen. His passion for mental health deepened after the tragic death by suicide of a classmate. Motivated to make a difference, Patrick founded Somethings, a platform connecting teens with GenZ Peer Support Mentors, offering relatable and engaging mental health care. With $3 million in funding, Patrick is scaling this initiative to bring Peer Support to teens across the nation.
