Family and Community - Childhood adversities (e.g., gun violence, bullying, and sexual abuse) can result in trauma for youth and continue into adulthood as mental issues.

How to help?

Social and Emotional Skills - Understanding others can help us learn more about ourselves.

Sense of Self-worth and Mastery - What are you good at? Write it out and see if you can improve even more.

Good Physical Health - Overweight and have a poor diet? Change it!

Physical Activity - Get out and do some exercise.

Positive Social Networks - Surround yourself with people who support you.

Social Capital and Social Supports - What can you do to better your community?
