Teens, parents, educators and health care providers gathered at the 8th annual Winter Blues celebration. The theme, Symbols of Wellness, highlighted activities for preventing anxiety and depression, ranging from puzzles to curricula.
Teen mentors staffed the Community Q & A kiosk during the Winter Blues celebration. They also spent a few minutes at the podium to say that stress was universal and that exercises are available for everyone to cope in healthier ways.
