In May of this year, one of my incredible constituents, 21-year-old Meera Varma, represented Burbank at the White House’s first-ever Mental Health Youth Action Forum. Since returning home, she’s continued to be a tireless advocate for improving mental health in our community, speaking publicly about her own struggles and using her voice to push for more accessible crisis services for young people. Meera, you continue to make all of us in the 28th District proud. Keep using your voice and fighting for change! Our community is stronger because of advocates like you.
