Self-esteem: Resources for Teens and Parents | Joon Teletherapy
Self-esteem
Self-esteem is used to describe a person's overall sense of self-worth or personal value. In other words, how much we like and appreciate ourselves. Self-esteem is often seen as a stable personality trait, but research actually shows that it develops during adolescence and young adulthood and can change over time. Developing a strong and positive sense of self can protect against mental health problems and help people lead healthy and positive lives.
