Teens can regain control of their emotions with:
Mindfulness to calm down and clear the mind from upsetting thoughts and feelings.
CBT to identify, challenge, and reclaim control over negative thoughts that spark anxiety, sadness, and anger.
Positive Psychology tools to discover hidden strengths, gain grit, think optimistically, and get back all the good stuff in life.
