Dealing with anxiety as a teen can be very challenging. Learning how anxiety relates to the whole person: emotionally, spiritually, relationally, and physically, can help lower anxiety levels and give you tools to address both your anxiety and help others in need.

The Youth Anxiety Summit is a free event for 7th-12th grade students and their parents only. Guest speakers include Care Pastor Dan Broyles, Student Ministry Director Gio Bonaventura, Therapists Aaron & Amy Kellogg, and Pastor Dave Wilson.

Youth Anxiety Summit - Wed. June 12th 6:30pm

THANK YOU for supporting our youth in recovery with an incredible weekend at camp this weekend! If you’d like to join in supporting our mission, please see donation link in bio!

Would you consider partnering with us to send our youth to camp?
Our youth are headed to the Frazier Park area this weekend for a camp experience to deepen their recovery journey, experience fun and fellowship in sobriety, and process through difficult experiences and self-destructive behaviors. This life-changing event can’t happen without your support! Please see our link in the bio to donate and help youth in recovery! Thank you so much!

Posted • Many parents complain about teenage disrespect. The first step is recognizing it’s often a heart connection issue than an attitude problem.

Posted • Spring is a time for growth and renewal. When the sun comes back into our lives and you notice tiny buds on the ground and the starts of leaves in the trees.

A wonderful way to grow is to grow something yourself. Do you have room for a houseplant or maybe a plot of soil outside of where you live? Nurture something wonderful this spring.

Posted • Whether the spring time change has you giddy for more sunlight, or struggling from lack of sleep, let it be a reminder that each season only lasts for a chapter. There are so many unwritten pages left to experience.

Posted • Point out the good you see!

Posted • Art is one of the best ways to turn something painful into something that sparks joy. Whether it’s pure catharsis, a distraction from a hard time or a way to process past trauma, art lights up multiple parts of the brain.

If you’re in a slump, creativity might be the best way out of it.

What’s your go-to creative hobby? And does it help with your mental health challenges?

Posted • You’re on the same side.

Posted • They want to feel heard.

Posted • This is something that needs to be discussed. We are not Pollyannas and recognize that experimenting with drugs and/or alcohol is at times a rite of passage, but there are some serious dangers that teens today are facing when using pot, and parents need to be aware and ensure their kids know what could happen. The amount of young people experiencing psychosis and schizophrenia from ma*****na usage is scary, and we have to talk about it.

Posted • When we lose our ability to feel sad, we lose our tenderness. It is a major aspect of ourselves that must be protected at all costs. If we can’t feel sad, we become coldhearted. Sadness does not equal weakness; rather, processing sadness leads to strength.

Posted • "Why am I doing this?”
I ask myself this question when I catch myself doing things for my kids that they should be doing themselves, like putting their dirty dishes in the dishwasher, putting away their clean laundry, or packing them lunch for the bus ride to their game. So often when I ponder this question, it leads to me feeling completely taken advantage of by my kids...

Part of the problem is that these gestures are my love language. I truly relish in making my boys feel loved and cared for. I know I need to back off a bit and let them do more for themselves – these are life lessons they need to learn. But I find myself justifying my actions.

Posted • It’s easier said than done, but so important to remind ourselves often.

Posted • Breaking down barriers through self-advocacy is an important tool when you are a young adult with a mental health diagnosis. Advocating for accommodations is how we learn, share, and create supportive spaces. Let's do that together using the DEARMAN script shared here.

Posted • “It’s challenging to talk about how you’re doing mentally since it’s an invisible injury — people can’t see it, so it’s harder to understand, but I think that’s why it’s so important we feel empowered to open up about it.” - Simone Biles

Posted • TEEN WRITING CONTEST: Are you interested in raising awareness around mental health? NIMH, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (), and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities want to learn from teens ages 16-18 in the “Speaking Up About Mental Health” essay contest. Topics may include stigma and barriers, resilience and coping strategies, school policies or practices, the impact of social media and technology, and more.
