Can Watching A Porcupine Eat a Pumpkin Help My Teen With Anxiety and Stress? Research Says YES!

from Pediatrics Now for Parents · host pediatricsnowforparents

Its back! Host and Executive Producer Holly Wayment interviews Jacklynn Ware of Project YES, a free, evidence-based online mental health resource for teens with short, anonymous modules that cover mood, anxiety, body image, safety planning, and more.  Its back, better than ever, right when teens need it more that ever.  And that includes the option of watching a video of the "World's Most Adorable Porcupine" chomp on a pumpkin. Accessible on phones, tablets, and computers, it includes crisis check-ins for warning signs and creates action plans at the end of modules. Designed for teens but helpful for parents, schools, and caregivers.
