Great Day Teens! ๐๐ค
How are you feeling today?
Do you feel alone? Sad? Well, we are here to cheer you up! We, the founders of this page, would like to help you!๐ซถ
We Introduce to you TALK OF TEENS (T.O.T.s) page! A page that would like to help, even just a little, in terms of teenagers' mental and emotional health.
Most teenagers look healthy physically, but deep inside, their mental and emotional health might be lacking. According to the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) curriculum, one in five teenagers has experienced a severe mental health disorder at some point in their lives, but these disorders still remain largely unrecognized and untreated. Teensโ brains are growing and developing, and how they interpret their experiences and fill their time is critical to that growth based on the study of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIH). Because of that, teens' brains are more vulnerable to stress as they respond to stress differently compared to adults.
Due to a variety of reasons, including the apprehension that others won't understand how they genuinely feel, not all teenagers are aware of how to address and who to approach regarding their mental and emotional health. As a result, the Talk of Teens project is centered on assisting teens in feeling more validated about their feelings and in educating the public about these aspects.
