What can young people do and say about big issues like health care, serious illnesses, and mental health?
The set of podcasts below focuses on health issues. In each episode, young people interview guests on their expertise and experience related to what it is like to be really sick, how serious illness affects mental health, and experiences in a children's hospital.
