Teen anxiety and depression are more of a concern for parents and teachers than ever before
At the same time, everyone feels extremely overwhelmed about what to do about it.
In partnership with local Utah child psychiatrists and therapists, United Way has developed an extremely lightweight and simple program that will give caring adults the tools they need to help youth.
It doesn't take extensive interventions or long classes to make a difference.
