Tishna Films collaborated with National Training & Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC), a SAMHSA-funded initiative, on producing 5 different pieces of video content that captured the performances of 4 youth poets and one introduction video, emphasizing the importance of creative writing as a therapeutic tool and a way to center the voices and experiences of young people in systems of care.

The AYV project was a national initiative and Tishna Films was instrumental in content developing the videos, producing them with an Austin-based crew and editing them along with post-release consultancy.
