Mental health issues now rank higher than drug, alcohol & tobacco use for youth under 18. 1 in 4 struggle with depression or anger management. Early identification & intervention with youth improve our communities now and into the future.

#TuesdayTip
- Self-efficacy = A teen's belief in their ability to make & sustain a change. The higher the self-efficacy, the more likely they'll succeed. Build it up by helping teens recognize wins. Ex: "Asking for help isn't always easy but you did it!"

: Talking w/ Teens 1) Ask permission "Can I share this w/ you?" 2) Give info simply--brief & factual. 3) Offer concern "I'm worried about you" 4) Provide a menu of options "There are a lot of things you could try (list). Where do you think you should start?"

: Help teens plan for difficult situations they may see in the future. Try asking “What do you think you can do to avoid drinking at parties,” versus telling them “You better not be drinking at parties.”

: Telling teens why they should/shouldn't do something causes them to tune you out. Set the stage & ask the right questions instead--that way they'll tell you why they should make safer decisions about their behaviors & will be more likely to follow through
