The Problem

The teen years are a time of extreme growth and development. As a result teens often move through incredible challenges, stress, and overwhelming feelings without always knowing how to cope. Parents are often at a loss and, because of the normal developmental and individuation processes at work, teens may simply not see their parents as a preferred, neutral support.

The Solution

Using the power of creative expression, Create & Cope was developed to address the need for teens to feel seen and heard, learn new skills to manage stress, and to combat feeling lonely or isolated. Each week teens explored a new coping skill while creating and supporting one another. Parents also learned how to utilize the skills for themselves and new ways to support their teens.

The Process

Step 1

Market program to local schools and other therapists and fill groups.

Step 2

Design curriculum based on interviews with parents and teens about what they wanted to gain from course.

Step 3

Weekly communication with parents to reinforce learning at home and school. Curated resources were shared throughout course.
