Adolescent Wellness, Inc. (AWI) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was founded in 2006 to simplify prevention of anxiety and depression along with their most tragic symptom: suicide. From newborns to the elderly, we are all on a wellness continuum where protective factors including problem-solving, coping and help-seeking can be improved. AWI pilots and promotes the following resources to enhance these protective factors:
better referral models, curricula, apps and games geared towards wellness, training for parents, pediatricians, school faculty and staff, & community workshops
