Great Minds Think Alike!

These organizations share something in common with the mission of Kids Are Talking.  We work with them to elevate conversations and produce quality teen-focused discussions.

ADL is a leading anti-hate organization that was founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of antisemitism and bigotry. Today, ADL is the first call when acts of antisemitism occur and continues to fight all forms of hate. A global leader in exposing extremism, delivering anti-bias education and fighting hate online, ADL’s ultimate goal is a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination or hate.

In an effort to help quell the rising hate that is tearing our country apart, we partnered with ADL to facilitate a much needed discussion with a group of Connecticut's ADL Teen Trainers for an Antisemitism Show.

The Yale Mood Disorders Research Program (MDRP), directed by Dr. Hilary Blumberg, is dedicated to understanding the causes of mood and related disorders, and suicide risk, over the lifespan. The MDRP brings together a multi-disciplinary group of scientists from across the Yale campus in a highly collaborative research effort to generate new and improved methods for early detection and treatment to reduce the suffering of mood disorders and suicide. The MDRP and Kids Are TalkingTM are partnering together to find creative ways to open up the conversation and reduce the stigma of mental illness.

The MDRP is currently conducting free 12 week therapy studies for individuals ages 13-29 years experiencing mood symptoms and have a parent with bipolar disorder (BD) or may have depression or BD, who are compensated up to $540 for participating. There are also studies for individuals ages 40 and up with BD.

Newport Healthcare is the national leader in treating higher-acuity mood and co-occurring disorders in teens and young adults, such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and substance use disorder. As our country and the world face the most devastating crisis of our time—the youth mental health crisis—Newport Healthcare is at the forefront in the essential work of helping young people to heal and to thrive.

Spring-summer 2022 will bring exciting new programming in partnership with this national organization.

TurningPointCT.org was developed by young people in Connecticut who are in recovery from mental health and substance use issues. While we’re not clinicians, we know what it’s like to feel alone, stressed, worried, sad, and angry. We’ve lived through the ups and downs of self-harm, drugs and alcohol, and the struggle to find help. Fortunately, we found what worked for us. Our goal is to provide information and support to help you choose your path so that you don’t have to struggle the way we did.

Our joint programs on Mental Health are helping kids find the tools and strategies they need to succeed.

The Fairfield CARES Community Coalition brings together citizens, educators and leaders from a broad spectrum of the Fairfield Community in support of our shared vision of a community that promotes healthy, responsible choices through prevention and education for youth, young adults, and families.

Our episode on College Application Stress looks at the elements that are contributing to the overall stress and anxiety of the higher education process.

The core missions of The Yellow Tulip Project is to smash stigma associated with mental illness and to build community to remind people that there is help and hope for those living with mental illness.

One of the prime directives  of of Kids Are Talking—being a therapist-led talkshow—is to bring the true struggles of the teenage mind into the public eye.


We are working together to create a show focusing on the Stigma of Mental Health.

"We Are Tired of the Stigma"

Connecticut Parent Advocacy Center, Inc. (CPAC) is a statewide nonprofit organization that offers information and support to families of children with any disability or chronic illness, age birth through 26. The Center is committed to the idea that parents can be the most effective advocates for their children, given the confidence that knowledge and understanding of special education law and its procedures can bring.

Kids Are Talking stands along side CPAC in the fight to advocate for students. We work together to help strengthen the voices of teens. Our shared goals of empowering and educating families is what makes this partnership so strong.


We are looking forward to partnering with them for a program on disabilities in March 2022.
