Teens talk with each other long before confiding in adults. iGROW provides language and insight for peer leaders to be most helpful.
iGROW is a community based universal prevention program for teens. The program teaches how to balance the weight of life’s worries with the relief of skills and knowledge. For example, risk factors associated with mental illness include poor problem solving skills, inability to generate alternative solutions, elevated levels of stress and poor coping skills. All ages can learn how to frame problems, create more options and become better problem solvers.
The next iGROW workshop is with psychologist Vanessa Prosper at St. Paul’s in Wellesley, MA.
