Why is this important?
Adolescence is a critical period of transition and cognitive, mental, emotional, and social change. These transitions can lead to various mental health challenges that can be associated with increased risk for alcohol and drug use, self-harm, and suicide. Having adult guidance, social and community supports, and knowing where to get help can help teens successfully navigate this transition period.
