North Carolina YMCAs Introduce Online Mental Health Resource for Teens
May 5, 2025 - 12:01
In 2024, YMCAs across North Carolina received state funding to expand programming focused on teen mental health. This initiative aims to address the growing concerns surrounding mental health issues among adolescents, particularly in the wake of the challenges posed by the pandemic. The newly launched online mental health hub is designed to provide teens with accessible resources, support, and information tailored to their unique needs.
The hub will feature a variety of tools, including educational materials, coping strategies, and virtual support groups, all aimed at fostering a healthier mindset among youth. Additionally, the program encourages community engagement by involving parents and guardians in the conversation about mental wellness.
YMCA officials emphasize the importance of creating a safe space for teens to discuss their feelings and challenges openly. With this initiative, the organization hopes to empower young people to take charge of their mental health and seek help when needed, ultimately promoting resilience and well-being in the community.
