Creating an inclusive high school culture through unified sports with Alizabeth Fonnesbeck, Bracken Hertzler, and Steven Hadfield

In this week's episode, Utah's First Lady Abby Cox is joined by Bracken Hertzler, Steven Hadfield, and Alizabeth Fonnesbeck, who are Mountain Crest High School students, to talk about their decisions to start getting involved in unified sports, some of their fondest experiences that they've had through unified sports, and how unified sports has helped create a more inclusive atmosphere throughout the school.

We also talk about some of the mental health challenges that high school students may experience in today's era, the importance of being empathetic to fellow students who might be dealing with mental health struggles, and why you shouldn't feel embarrassed to reach out for help and feel vulnerable. 

Lastly, we dive into some of the dangers surrounding social media and ways that we can disconnect from social platforms and smartphones.
