Staying Well: An emotional health workshop for teens

Four in 10 teens report they feel “persistently sad or hopeless,” according to a recent CDC survey. If you know a teenager struggling with these feelings, we hope you’ll share this with them. “Staying Well” is a series of four workshops designed to help teens cope with strong emotions, manage relationships, and find meaning and purpose in their lives.
