Vibe Check! Teen Mental Health and Wellness

Before we begin: If you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis, stop and dial 988 or 911. Then, reach out to a parent, teacher, or other trusted adult. There is help. There is hope. And… you matter!

Teens, this blog is for you! Have you ever wondered how to tell if you or a friend might be struggling with a mental health challenge? How would you know?

Well, one click away is an online mental health quiz made especially for teens that also provides information on what teen mental health is all about!

We created this resource for teens like you! Maybe you want to recognize signs of anxiety and depression or understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy coping strategies. Want information on how you and your peers can seek support? It has that too!

So, if you’ve ever wondered about your own or someone else’s mental health, what are you waiting for? CLICK HERE
