The Healing Initiative creates a safe space, welcoming teens to come together and exhale. This program allows teens a ‘time out’ to lay down their burdens and to rest.

 

Teenagers struggle…The pressures and expectations of school, family, home life and social life, the uncertainty of a global and personal future can feel overwhelming and confusing. Very often they don’t have a mentor or place where they can seek guidance and learn the skills to manage all that they are facing. 

With being pulled in so many different directions, they often don’t have the tools to navigate it all effectively. This can result in depression, anxiety, poor academic performance, drug use, isolation, self-harming behavior, and rising risk of suicide.

The Healing Initiative sees teens for who they truly are, bright, vulnerable, smart in a multitude of ways, and trying to figure out the confusing transition into adulthood. Being seen and supported is the first step for them to exhale and trust they can do it.

As trust builds, hearts open. Teens feel safe, heard, seen and respected. And they grow. 

Through this peaceful, caring environment, teens are taught the cognitive and emotional skills they need to build an empowered, healthy way of living. 

They learn another way to create and design their lives. 

This program can be offered in school settings, after school programs, mental health facilities to name a few
