Support group provides youth with tools and coping mechanisms to promote positive mental and emotional health (age 8-13).Studies show a rise in suicidal ideations, anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem among this population during the COVID. Often youth are unable to identify or express what they feel and neither have they developed adequate coping skills to address them or know where to go or to whom.
