Mental Health for Teens

Simply Homeschool / 25 June 2024

The shocking news: Teen mental health is in decline.

More than 4 in 10 (42%) students felt persistently sad or hopeless, and nearly one-third (29%) experienced poor mental health in 2021, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

Our response: As parents, we all know how important good mental health is, and we want our teens to grow in this area.

The good news: Our NEW 9-week Teens Life Skills online class is open to members and non-members aged 13-17yrs.

Whether your teens have already participated in our previous class or not, this online class will help them learn new skills and develop new friendships.

Sign your teen up for 9 one-hour workshops to support their mental health. 

Provide your teen with the opportunity to:

· Connect with other homeschooled teens in a live workshop each week.

· Interact with others in a monitored chat space between classes.

· Build self-regulation and resilience skills.

· Seek inspiration to build their motivation.

· Set SMART goals to develop characteristics they want to grow into.

· Play games to build relationships and communication skills.

· Design their own Vision Board.

· Discuss ‘input’ sources to build a healthy life.

· Check off our Well-Being Bingo Board to upgrade your self-care routine.
