Teen Wellness Program: 4 core skills to prevent mental illness

 Is your teen struggling to manage their emotions?  Traditional psychotherapy may feel like too much for teens struggling with "regular" middle school or high school issues. However, you may feel like they might need a little help.

MyndHealth offers an alternative to one-on-one therapy by teaching your teen four core skills they need to manage their own emotions: emotional literacy, cognitive coping, behavioral coping, and interpersonal coping.

Our goal is to prevent mental illness from developing in the first place and avoid costly and long-term therapy in the future.

If your child needs therapy, we can refer you to a licensed psychotherapist within our organization or in your community.

Unlike many online mental health programs developed in Silicon Valley by tech companies, our program was developed by a clinical psychologist and mental health researcher who specializes in childhood and adolescence. Our teen and parent programs are based on decades of research in the field. 

Dr. Maya Boustani has published dozens of articles and book chapters and has presented at many national conferences about mental health prevention programming for children and adolescents. She is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to determine best practices to prevent mental anxiety and depression in teens. 

She developed these programs based on her own clinical work and research for the past decade along with her experience as a mother of two teens.
