🌟 What a grateful Tuesday at the high school teen center this week! 🦃✨

Our amazing youth dove into the power of gratitude—decorating journal covers and making them uniquely theirs. 🎨📔

Fun fact: Teens who practice gratitude daily have 30% lower cortisol (stress hormone) and sleep 27 minutes longer (Allen et al., 2020). That’s science-backed chill! 😴💤
