Healthy Thoughts and Emotions for Teens
We know that many teens are experiencing increasing levels of stress without having adequate resources and coping strategies. Teenagers need support, resources, and strategies for learning how to develop healthy thoughts and emotions. We will use the book "Winning the War in Your Mind for teens" to discover "unhealthy thought patterns" that can lead to destructive behaviors and replace them with Biblical Truth to find joy and peace in life. The goal is to provide teens with exercises that reinforce the following skills:
Understanding of the impact of negative thinking in shaping beliefs, motivations, and worldviews
Learning how to identify, describe, and manage strong emotions without hurting themselves or others
Finding healthy options for coping with stress and anxiety
Knowing how and when to stop, breathe, and return to a calm state when feeling overwhelmed
In this Care Group for guys and girls, teens will learn and practice various techniques for self-regulation, create their own toolkit of useful skills to manage stress and anxiety, and understand the strength of having a relationship with Jesus.
