Stress: Resources for Teens and Parents | Joon Teletherapy

Stress

The lives of teens and young adults are filled with stressors – school, extracurricular activities, peers, romantic relationships and family relationships to name a few. There is no way to avoid stress, so learning to handle stress in adaptive and effective ways is an important skill. Difficulties with healthy stress management may cause other problems, such as depressed or anxious mood or maladaptive coping behaviors like substance use or self-injury.

Self-Care in High School

This one goes out to all those teens who can't get out of bed no matter how hard they try, who have gone three days without seeing anyone (or even brushing their hair). You're not alone, and our teen experts (and a few twentysomethings) can prove it.
