Wisdom & Worth is a year round youth wellness program for middle school students. Through weekly creative arts, wellness activities, and personal development groups, students will explore who they are, gain tools for resilience and self-expression, and connect with peers in ways that support long-term well-being.
Why This Age Matters
Identity Shifts: Early adolescence is when young people begin to explore who they are, while navigating big emotional and social shifts.
Mental Health Risk: Nearly half of all mental health challenges begin by age 14, making this stage a critical window for prevention and support.
Peer Influence: Between ages 8–14, friendships and peer groups strongly shape emotional and social well-being, sometimes even more than parents.
Emotional Growth: This is a pivotal time for learning emotional awareness and healthy ways to manage stress and regulate feelings.
