Tips from a Therapist’s Office Video Series
Being a teenager has many emotions, stresses, and difficulties. Not only have we all had our normal stresses lately, but we have also all had our day-to-day activities abruptly taken away. This can be traumatic for all of us. You may be slowly getting back to some pre-COVID activities, but the situations of the past fourteen months will likely have a long-lasting emotional toll on most of us. Chaz Franke, Licensed Social Worker, and Therapist, has discussed how you can be aware of your mental health and why self-care is important in seven short “Tips from a Therapist’s Office” videos. Each video will cover a specific topic that can improve your mental health.
