Is your teen stressed or anxious?
Do you know there is not one right way to help them manage their negative emotions and anxiety?
Are you ready to learn the most simple, effective, and teen-proven ways to help them manage their feelings of overwhelm?
Teens Talk About Mental Health is a powerful book written for teens by teens, with vulnerable and honest stories from high school students dealing with their struggles in today’s stress-filled post-pandemic, fast-paced, and perfectionist-focused world.
Parents, teachers, and psychologists agree that today's teens are facing a mental health crisis, struggling with more anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness, and stress like never before. The stigma around mental health keeps many teenagers struggling in silence, but this book is here to change that.
In a one-of-a-kind mental health study, eleven teens tested eighteen mental-wellness activities. They wanted to find out for themselves what worked best, and then share their experiences and solutions to inspire and empower others who might be stuck and struggling like they were.
Even more powerful is that all of the teen authors in this book are Korean American or Mexican American - two cultures where the stigma around mental health is deeply rooted. They courageously share the struggles and pressures they face and want to break the stigma and bring mental health awareness to the forefront.
Some of the questions the teens grappled with in this book include:
- How do I get more done in less time?
- How do I get up when all I want to do is sleep?
- How do I get motivated to do things I don’t want to do?
- How do I build my self-esteem so I’m not feeling bad all the time?
- Is there a better way to deal with my anger and stress besides screaming in my pillow?
Inside you’re going to learn and discover:
- Quick and simple research-proven self-care activities that help reduce stress, anxiety, feelings of overwhelm frustration, and more
- Inspirational and transformational stories written by teens for teens
- Teen’s honest conversations about their deepest struggles
- Glimpse into how teens see the world and what they envision for their lives

If your teen finds themselves disorganized, anxious, irritated, sad, insecure, exhausted, and stressed out, this book can help them build their confidence, and be more calm, happy, motivated, empowered, and focused.
From our teen authors:
“After learning about these strategies, my confidence increased significantly, and I feel a lot more excited about my future. I know I will be able to find a way to succeed because I learned I can do everything if I genuinely believe in myself.”
