With mental health disorders on the rise within the younger generation, how do we help children and youth cope with worries, fears and anxiety? How do we support this struggling generation as they improve their self-esteem, self-awareness and form better connections? Empowering our Future is a guide to strategies and techniques for parents, teachers, caregivers and coaches to help children thrive in today’s world.
Anxiety disorders affect one in eight children and one in three adolescents. Teens are considered one of the most anxious generations ever. High school and college students are five to eight times more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression than in previous years. What are we doing about it?
By the end of Empowering our Future you will have the tools you need to help children manage their challenges, whether that’s building relationships, worry, fear, low self-esteem, stress or anxiety. This book is the framework needed to teach children about the one thing we don’t: themselves. With this resource, we can work to enhance mental and emotional well-being, which in turn builds resilient youth.
