Our holistic approach to youth development and success appreciates each person as unique. Our workshops are a resource to strengthen the roots of well-being and inspire wellness.

Wellness is multi-dimensional with the key pillars being Physical, Social Emotional, Financial, Professional (how you make your living), and Spiritual (your purpose and personal growth).

Social-Emotional Wellness
The ability to relate to and connect with other people in our world and the ability to understand ourselves and cope with the challenges life can bring.

Financial Wellness
The ability to identify your relationship with money and skills in managing resources. An intricate balance of the mental, spiritual, and physical aspects of money.

Professional Wellness - The ability to get personal fulfillment from our jobs or chosen career fields while still maintaining balance in our lives.

Spiritual Wellness - The ability to establish peace and harmony in our lives, exploring a sense of purpose and continual personal growth.

Physical Wellness - The ability to maintain a healthy quality of life without undue fatigue or physical stress

Mental Health Education & Coping Skills
A Series of Workshops for Teen Girls

This is a 4-week series of workshops to help teens with anxiety. We will explore coping skills such as Grounding Techniques, Cognitive Distortions and learn breathing techniques all to help reduce anxiety levels. 

Teens have a lot to contend with today, now more than ever.  Teens today are faced with such challenges as:

●      being pushed harder to achieve higher grades,
●      group dynamics are shifting to larger (gang like) groups,
●      child sexual abuse has risen 57% in the past 5 years (CDC)
●      body image and social media
●      pressure to use alcohol and/or drugs
●      40% of young people were bullied in the past 12 months, online and off  (ABA)
●      lockdown restrictions
●      homeschooling
●      sexual exploration

As a result of the above, it is no wonder that teenagers today are more anxious than ever.  These are just a few of the challenges that teens face today so it is no wonder if teenagers are struggling with anxiety or depression.

These workshops are an easy-going – slow-paced way of learning new ways of coping with anxious feelings and thoughts. 
While this is a serious topic, it will be delivered in a light-hearted and friendly way.
