Feel It, Face It, Together

Feeling Stressed? You’re Not Alone. Let’s Figure It Out Together. 💙

North Carolina YMCAs, with state funding, are promoting teen mental health awareness in response to rising challenges. Studies show 1 in 6 teens experience frequent negative emotions, and 1 in 4 have a diagnosed condition. CDC data highlights increased suicidal behaviors and depression since 2019, with 34% of high school students reporting poor mental health in 2021. The initiative aims to normalize mental health discussions and improve support.
