Strawberry teen aids county program to support those struggling with mental health

Strawberry’s Scarlett Goh says that’s why she’s spearheading Caring Cards, a county program that sends handwritten notes to hospitalized patients in Marin who have been struggling with their mental health, suicidal ideation, substance abuse or other behavioral-health issues.
