SAN ANTONIO — Teenagers in San Antonio are spending their summer vacation training to become mental health champions through a free one-day retreat. This initiative aims to equip local youth with essential skills and knowledge to address mental health issues within their communities.
Participants engage in various workshops that focus on topics such as stress management, emotional well-being, and peer support. By fostering an understanding of mental health challenges, these teens are learning how to identify signs of distress in themselves and others, enabling them to provide support and guidance to their peers.
The retreat also emphasizes the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, encouraging open conversations among young people. This program not only empowers the participants but also aims to create a ripple effect, inspiring other teens to prioritize mental well-being and support one another. As these young advocates prepare to take on their roles, they are poised to make a significant impact in their communities.
