Lori McAninch and myself have been talking about the stress of being a teenager and how it can feel as though you are the only one feeling the way that you do. But this is so not the case!

We’re hositng a relaxed, peer-led meet-up where you can connect with others who understand what it’s like.
There’s no pressure to talk-just come as you are.

Hang out, meet new people, and take a break from everything.
What to expect:
• A welcoming, judgment-free environment
• Snack and refreshments
• A fun game of bingo (with prizes)
• Time to connect
Everything shared stays respectful and private. This is your space to feel safe, supported, and included.
You don’t have to go through things alone-come join us on
Sunday, May 31 from 5:30-6:30 at The Hub, 17 N Clinton St, Albia.

This is for Albia High School students until we get a feel for numbers.
We plan to do this the last Sunday of each month so if May doesn't work join us in June!

I’m a visual person. I hope you find this useful. Too often we stay in the fight or flight mode and that becomes incredibly exhausting. While it’s scary to unpack all the “junk” it’s so worth it in the end as you become more informed about what has gotten you to your present state.
