🌿 Helping Youth Manage Stress Starts with Support, Not Silence
Today’s youth are facing more stress than ever — school pressure, social media, family challenges, and life changes that can feel overwhelming.
But learning healthy ways to cope early in life can change the entire mental health journey ahead. 💚
✅ Here are 5 Simple Stress-Relief Tips for Youth:
1️⃣ Take a movement break — stretch, walk, dance, or step outside for fresh air.
2️⃣ Try “box breathing” — inhale 4 sec, hold 4 sec, exhale 4 sec, hold 4 sec.
3️⃣ Name the feeling — saying “I feel anxious” or “I feel frustrated” helps the brain process it.
4️⃣ Unplug for 10 minutes — put the phone down, turn off notifications, regroup.
5️⃣ Talk to a trusted adult or therapist — stress grows in silence, but shrinks when shared.
At New Perspectives Sober Living, our Behavioral Health Services for Youth offer trauma-informed therapy, coping skills development, and family support — because healing doesn’t happen alone.
