Hi! Today we're talking about how teens deal with stress and where they find support. Let's start with a friendly chat.

“When you feel overwhelmed with schoolwork, what do you usually do to relax?”

“Do you think teenagers today talk about their feelings more than in the past? Why?”

“If a close friend was struggling, how would you try to help them?”

“Would you rather talk to a peer or an adult about a personal problem? Why?”

“What do you think schools could do to raise awareness about mental health?”
