About the program

Navigating the unique challenges of raising a teen can be complex, especially given the ongoing changes in today’s world. Wellthy’s Teen Support content program provides specialized support for parents and caregivers of teenagers.

In addition to Wellthy’s Care Concierge service, we have created a variety of short videos (“Care Clips”) and downloadable resources curated by experts from Wellthy’s Care Team and a mental health consultant.

School success

• It’s always a good idea to connect with the teenagers in your life about improving their executive functioning skills. These skills are critical for developing self-esteem, social skills, school success, and emotional wellbeing during adolescence. Check out this one-pager for information from Wellthy on improving teens’ executive function skills.

Managing stress

• While a certain level of stress is beneficial, too much stress, coupled with a lack of understanding on how to manage it, can have serious repercussions. For teens, it's crucial that their initial experiences with stress are not debilitating, but also constructive, as these will shape their stress-handling strategies in the future. Check out this one-pager for tips on how to manage teens’ stress.

Learning differences

• Does your teen struggle with attention in school? Attention issues impact many teens, but it can be difficult to know when there is a behavioral issue to address, or when a teen needs extra formal support. Check out this one-pager for tips on how to reduce teens’ procrastination.

Mental health

• Teen mental health is always top of parents' minds, and for good reason as rates of suicide, anxiety, and more rise. Knowing some signs to look for can help you determine if you need to take additional steps. Check out this one-pager for information on understanding anxiety and related conditions in teens.

Social media
