Teens Gotta Talk

Teens Gotta Talk is designed to teach coping skills which will help to enable high schoolers to manage stressors impacting their personal life, school performance, and attendance. Teens Gotta Talk consists of three evidence-based modules incorporating lessons and activities offered, including Stress Management, Self-Esteem, and Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention.

Currently, school and community-based programs aimed at helping teens are focused on educating adults to intervene. Teens Gotta Talk is the only program incorporating peer support to encourage teens to help each other. The goals of Teens Gotta Talk are to address the mental health challenges inhibiting teens from reaching their full potential by promoting self-reliance, self-confidence, resiliency, and self-responsibility, creating a stable foundation for future academic and professional achievement. Measures of success of the program include reduced absenteeism, improved grades and class participation, and reduced instances of self-harm and suicide. Overall, Teens Gotta Talk helps teens find their own strength to begin living a life of hope and fulfillment.
