‘Know Yourself.
Love Yourself.
Grow Yourself.’
What we know:
The teen years are HARD.
They are a time of rapid physical development and deep emotional changes. But they can be made easier through open communication, awareness of self and coping strategies.
Teens are really struggling with self-esteem and social pressures.
It can be a confusing and uncomfortable stage of life and may involve a lot of risk-taking behaviour.
The most difficult part of being a teenager is trying to understand your feelings and who you are as a person. Add the pressures of school, peers, social media and ‘the future’ and it is incredibly overwhelming.
We also know that 50 percent of mental illness begins by age 14, and three-quarters begins by age 24.
We want to ease this!!!
Each session: 45 mins- 60 mins. Once weekly for 9 weeks.
