Miss NJ Teen USA 2023, Julia Carrano, Talks Mental Health Stigma

Even Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2023, Julia Carrano, Struggles with Mental Wellness

Julia Carrano relinquished her crown today, June 23rd, 2024, after one year of reign as Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2023. Parenting Thru Trauma interviewed Julia and her mother, Nancy Carrano, in May as they prepared for Julia's transition. Part one of our two-part interview includes Julia and Nancy talking about their journey to identify and treat Julia's mental health symptoms, medication challenges, and navigating child-serving systems. Julia also shared her experience with early childhood trauma and how that may have played a role.

More on Julia Carrano at https://missnewjerseyusa.com/teen/

Julia is a high school honors graduate from Manahawkin, NJ. She began attending college to study psychology, hoping to one day obtain her postgraduate degree and become a mental health therapist working with teens. Her battles with mental wellness put her plans on hold.

As a survivor of treatment-resistant depression, the current youth mental health crisis is near and dear to Julia’s heart. As Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2023, Julia made breaking the stigma of youth mental health her platform and shared her story with young people throughout New Jersey and elsewhere to help them understand ‘it’s ok to not be ok’ and that kindness counts. She worked alongside peer groups and continues to volunteer as a trained crisis counselor with the National Crisis Text Line.
