Mental Wellness for Teens
The lives of teenagers are becoming more and more complicated and challenging. Academic pressures, busy schedules and turmoil in relationships often become overwhelming. Teens who lack effective coping skills or support can become depressed. Learn how to recognize symptoms of depression in teens and effective ways to intervene and ways families can help to prevent depression in their teens at home, in church and in the community. Early and effective intervention can provide teens with the tools necessary to cope with depression in effective ways.

She introduces various ways to protect yourself against stress and teaches several stress reduction techniques that can be used by the whole family, as well as some that are specific to children's and parent's needs.
