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.
How We Support
5th - 8th Grade Students
The Wisdom & Worth Youth Wellness Initiative is built on a core framework of personal development, creative arts, and wellness. These three pillars aren’t separate pieces—they work together in every part of the program.
-
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Group circles and guided workshops help youth build self-confidence, explore their strengths, and practice skills that support healthy decision-making.
-
CREATIVE ARTS
From music to painting to storytelling, expressive arts sessions give youth space to share their voices, celebrate culture, and find joy in creative expression.
-
WELLNESS
Breathing exercises, yoga, and reflection activities help youth manage stress, stay present, and develop resilience in everyday life.
Why This Program Matters
Our youth are navigating a lot at home, in school, and with friends. This program gives them a safe space to grow, build confidence, and learn skills that carry over into everyday life.
