Engaging in open conversations with teens can be a game-changer when it comes to managing stress, navigating peer pressures related to substance use and temptations to take dangerous risks. By fostering an environment of trust and dialogue, teens can be empowered to make better decisions.
Preventative Resources to Tackle Stressful Issues
The world can be difficult for children and teens today; the risks are greater. Drug and alcohol use is on the rise; students face bullying, school violence, and cyberbullying; more adolescents report feeling anxious and stressed than ever before. These issues are often roadblocks to a young person’s educational journey and lifelong achievement. To that end, ADAPP provides resources and information to families, teachers, children, and community members to tackle the issues youth face.
