New Series Designed to Help Teens Better Manage Stress, Anxiety

To help teens in our community thrive, our City is rolling out a new Teen Series designed to help teenagers better address today's social issues.

First up on September 9 is the free "Healthy Ways to Manage Stress and Anxiety for Teens" program from 4-5:30 pm at Aliso Viejo City Hall. The program will cover pressure from school to technology; how the teenage brain works; the effects of stress; and helpful tips and tools for creating a personal stress plan. Teens will leave with strategies for dealing with their emotions in times of stress and more.

Then on September 13, the new four-part "Gritty Girl Teen Series" begins from 3:30-4:45 pm to help teens ages 13-17 develop their inner strength and build self-confidence, leadership and life skills. Each workshop incorporates interactive learning, group discussions and inspirational takeaways. Cost is $175.

"We're excited to offer quarterly programming that can help teens in our community live healthier, more productive lives," said Community Services Manager Stephanie Phillips.
