Today’s young people are anxious.
Teach them they’re not alone.
Why do we need to talk about anxiety?
Anxiety and depression are on the rise, dominating the ways young people talk about their generation. While leaders and parents are becoming more aware of these problems, we often aren’t sure how to respond.
Why do we need to talk about anxiety in youth group?
We know that parents and church leaders may know when young people are hurting, but aren’t talking to one another about it. We designed this curriculum to help open channels of communication between young people and their peers, their parents, and the church.
How can this curriculum help?
We’re empowering you with language and tools to respond to young people in your care, making anxiety a part of conversations about discipleship and holistic, faithful living.
“This has been a profoundly helpful journey for my students. They've really enjoyed it and have given me positive feedback after every lesson. I can see this becoming a yearly part of our teaching curriculum.”
