Skokie area teens! Mark your calendars for the next session of ASKING FOR A FRIEND at Skokie Public Library on Tuesday, Feb. 3rd @ 4pm! This time we'll focus on navigating complex family dynamics. Family relationships can be complicated. In this session, we'll talk about common family challenges, learn practical tools for communication and boundaries, and build skills to cope with stress at home.

This free, drop-in mental health support program for teens is a collaboration between Turning Point Behavioral Health and Skokie Public Library and is generously supported by the Skokie Community Foundation.

Our 2025 series of "Asking for a Friend" wrapped up in December with gratitude!

Our December session focused on healthy relationships and the science of gratitude and featured self-care kits for the teens and their friends. Among lots of self-care goodies, the kits included the cards pictured here which feature quotes of encouragement from the teens we've worked with in this year's fantastic series of programs!

Thanks to support from the Skokie Community Foundation and The Education Foundation Supporting the Students of Niles Township, this monthly "Asking for a Friend" 2025 program has provided a safe space for teens to share questions and concerns and receive guidance on mental health and wellness. Open to all teens on a drop-in basis, free of charge, this program is a collaboration between Turning Point Behavioral Health and Skokie Public Library.

The program launches its 2026 program on January 6th @ 4pm @ Skokie Public Library.

Special shout out to Skokie Community Foundation’s 2025 grant sponsors, First Bank Chicago and Haben Funeral Home & Crematory, and all who donate to support Skokie Community Foundation’s grants.
