Today’s teens are navigating an increasingly complex world, leading to a notable rise in mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. The impact of these challenges on their daily lives and future potential is profound. Educational institutions, parents, and communities are seeking effective strategies to address this pressing concern. Identifying the problem is the first critical step, acknowledging that these mental health issues require a comprehensive, informed, and empathetic approach to support our youth.

Sobering statistics: Recent studies indicate that the incidence of major depressive episodes among teens has increased by nearly 60% over the last decade. About 70% of teens see anxiety and depression as major problems among their peers, with the constant connectivity and comparison on social media platforms being a significant contributor. This alarming trend underscores a critical need for comprehensive strategies to address and mitigate the mental health challenges faced by teens.

Recognizing  the critical challenge of teen mental health,  and that education exists beyond academics, we understand that building resilient, confident and capable teens requires a proactive approach.
