TWST4Girls tackles mental wellness in youth with this 2-day mental wellness retreat for youth dealing with loss or trauma. Partnered with a licensed youth therapist, together we will teach youth coping skills for dealing with life’s most impactful circumstances. 

The most common changes that occur for healthy young people include:

• bullying and friendship issues

• life transitions

• puberty and physical changes

• changing families

• loss

• over-scheduling

• self-identity

The internet adds another layer of challenges. Children have an accelerated exposure to unhealthy attitudes, images, and ideas that are glamorized and unrealistic

Untreated traumatic experiences and these false perceptions can distort a child's view of normal development and lead to problems including:

• depression

• anxiety, nervousness, and worry

• interference with school achievement

• relationships with family and peers

• self-esteem and self-confidence

• procrastination, motivation, and time management

• concentration

• irritability

• major life decisions
