How Do I Drive This Thing?: Navigating Your Teenage Brain

Gear up with skills and knowledge to drive yourself through some tough situations. In this 6-week course for teens and tweens led by a NAMI Athens Community Health Worker, we'll talk together about topics related to mental health. So buckle up and come to the library all six weeks for snacks, conversation, and friendship!

Teens and screens- a tough topic! Too much screen time and social media can lead to poor sleep, low self esteem, anxiety and even eye trouble! This week we’ll learn about screen addiction and the effects of our screen habits on our wellbeing. We’ll explore a few mental health apps they can check out as an alternative to doomscrolling, as well as talk about when (and how!) to take a break from our devices.
