Thank you to MAST Charter III and everyone who came out for The Magic Formula for Calming Intense Teen Emotions!
It was such a great group of caregivers. Curious, open, and committed to helping their teens feel seen and supported. We talked about how calm isnât something you create for your teen; itâs something you model and build together through connection.
If you missed this workshop, you can learn some of the same strategies in the free Family Validation Workshop.

Creative Healing offers unique three-part treatment program designed specifically for teens that's not being offered anywhere else.
The Three Critical Components of Teen Success are:
Self-expression: This is how your teen learns to tune in, identify their feelings and warning signs and communicates those emotions to others.
Support: This is how your teen learns to identify a positive support system and find accountability among healthy peers and adults.
Skill-building: These are the tools and techniques to adequately prepare your teen to manage life's ups and downs so that they can be successfully independent in college, young adulthood and beyond.
