Teen Talk Conference

Here is a summary of the takeaways:

🗣️ It’s so important to reach out and talk to somebody.

🪧 Be aware of and spot the signs; whether that’s with yourself or others

💜 Find your passion.

🙋‍♀️Self-discipline comes from motivation.

🙏 Note what you’re grateful for, the things that you like about yourself, the words that describe how you want to feel and set an intention for each day.

🛑 If you’re waiting for, or want, an intervention to happen because something is going on in your life that you don’t like, it’s in your power to make decisions.

😮‍💨 Breathe.

🏃‍♀️ Exercise.

🙇‍♀️ You can change and manage your mindset.

🫣 Look for role models that make you want to emulate some element of their character.

🥰 Be authentic to everyone as you don’t know who is looking up to you.

🥺 Not everybody is able to talk about mental health in the same way. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

👂 Instagram stories and question stickers are super for gleaning feedback and insights from teenagers.
