Teen Lounge Program Room | 230

Learn about mental health awareness. Events in the Teen Lounge are for ages 13-18 only.

Learning that mental health is not just when you're experiencing a crisis. Mental health awareness is learning the signs before getting to that point. Managing stress, promoting and building emotional wellness and building self-awareness. Guest Speakers are our Community Resource team members Chole & Mekkos! They will be leading us in our what's behind the mask activity! Patrons can draw what they want people to see on the outside of the mask. Making your mask look beautiful to others is what counts! Then we will turn the masks over and write a note to yourself on the inside of your mask, something that you need to hear.  

AGE GROUP: | Teens ages 12-19 |
