Teen Life

We connect every teenager with trusted adults and resources because no teen deserves to feel alone.

Many teens don't feel like they have a trusted adult in their life they can go to for help. Teen Life partners with schools and community volunteers to provide student support groups to give teenagers a safe place to find connection and resources they need.

We hear many incredible statements from students who participate in Teen Life Support Groups, including quotes such as:

- "I have learned that you should always ask for help when you need it."
- "I'm more dedicated to the opportunities that are given to me."
- "I have learned to control my stress and be patient."
- "I've learned how to reach out for help in a healthy way without lashing out."
- "I feel more connected, and I feel better about myself."
- "I'm going to start every day with a positive attitude and know that I have more friends than I thought."
- "I am not getting as angry or sad. I feel like this put me at a higher level of self-esteem."

Our Needs

Teen Life is currently experiencing growth in our Support Group program. With the spike of mental health concerns in adolescents due to recent lockdowns and social distancing, schools are beginning to reopen their doors to outside resources. We need help to keep up with the recent demand and anticipate the needs of schools to continue to grow exponentially into the next school year.  Your support will enable more teenagers to access free Support Groups on their school campus.
