Self-Care Kits For Teen Health & Wellness

Hello! I’m Julie, a Junior at Glendora High School, and I’m raising funds for my Community Impact Project, a collaboration with my school’s NAMI Club. I was inspired by the mentorship program I am in called “Mentor For Change,” which equips teens to become Changemakers in their own communities. So as an MFC Mentee, I’ll be giving back to my community by serving my peers at Glendora HS. During the Covid Pandemic, I noticed an increase in anxiety, stress, and depression not only within me but also in my peers. That’s when I began to learn about the critical need for youth-focused mental health. One way to help teens actively address their mental health needs is to show them how to care for their bodies and minds. To promote this, I’m creating “Self-Care Kits” that will encourage and empower students to practice personal care, stress relief, and emotional processing. The funds I raise will 100% be used to purchase items for the Self-Care Kits. Thank you for your support!
