SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Each week we examine stories that affect people who live and work in the Bay Area.

This week's edition of "Beyond the Headlines" focuses on Teen Mental Health and sends a message of hope for teenagers and families struggling with bullying, depression, or other mental health challenges.
