Shaelyn Bangs is 13 years old and wants her voice to be heard as a proponent of pediatric mental health.

As someone who has lived with anxiety most of her life, she has had to learn to navigate the mental health services available to her. 

It took three years for her to receive the care she needed.

As a dancer, she has won numerous awards.

Her goal is to get an engineering degree so she can make robots to send to NASA.
