Saori Kosugi: Voices From the Frontline

I'm Saori Kosugi, founder of a nonprofit in Japan supporting young people in crisis.

For 13 years, I've listened to over 40,000 young people's unheard cries for help — school refusal, self-harm, bullying, abuse, suicidal thoughts.

The news calls it "a youth problem." I've spent over a decade in the room with what that actually means.

This channel is the reality only someone on the frontlines can tell you — what's actually happening to young people, and why.

I'm not speaking from theory. I dropped out of high school at 15, survived domestic violence, a suicide attempt, and years on welfare before rebuilding my life from nothing.

On this channel: youth crises explained from the inside, and what 40,000 conversations have taught me about who actually rebuilds their life.

With love, from the frontlines.
