Managing Anxiety and Depression
Today’s youth have more pressures than ever before. Many believe they must exceed performance standards in nearly every aspect of their lives. Increasingly higher expectations can result in stress, anxiety, fear of failure, perfectionism, and depression.
Feeling as if one is never good enough, can always do better, and can rarely, if ever, make a mistake or receive less than an outstanding evaluation in any aspect of life is unhealthy and can have significant, debilitating consequences.
This is a particularly vulnerable time for girls. Some are becoming immobilized by worry, a sense of defeat, rejection, isolation, loneliness, anger about uncontrollable circumstances, and uncertainty about their future.
This group focuses on helping members understand their unique triggers, how to care for themselves and others, and develop new coping skills to face and overcome these challenges.
