Mental health support

Group Chat Therapy Program

Join our transformative group therapy session tailored for teens! A licensed therapist guides group of 10 ambassadors through a journey of self-discovery and healing. Beyond learning vital coping mechanisms, ambassadors find a secure environment where their voices are heard and respected. Group Chat fosters trust and camaraderie among teens, enabling each individual to explore their emotions openly and build essential life skills in a supportive environment.

S.A.V.E. Program (Suicide Awareness & Anti-Violence Education)

Each year, emerging youth leaders in our program serve as youth peer mentors for our S.A.V.E. Program (Suicide Awareness and Anti-Violence Education). The S.A.V.E. Program is offered in partnership with the Kansas City, Missouri Health Department and is a youth-led, peer-to-peer violence prevention mentorship program where teens discuss the devastating impact of violence in our communities using evidence-based curriculum and materials. YA collaborates with child health experts, community members, civic leaders, and anti-violence content experts, to help teens identify the potential for violence in social settings, learn how to report violence once it occurs, while learning how to de-escalate conflict in a safe and effective manner.

Teens cover topics such as...

Healthy Relationships & Consent
Sexual Health
Gun Violence
Anger Management Techniques
Suicide Prevention
Goal Setting & Tracking
Much More!
