The Middletown Township Public Library (MTPL) has scheduled a series of programs for teens and parents of teens on mental health and wellness geared toward empowering teens with tools to cope with anxiety and other struggles.
The first of three in the series, “Techniques to Help Your Anxious Teen,” will be Wednesday, October 26 at the Middletown Library on Tindall Rd.
During that program for both teens and parents, Megan Callus, a Z-Health Applied Neuroanatomy Specialist, will share techniques to help teens manage their anxiety.
All are also invited to attend “Hearts and Minds” presented by the National Alliance of Mental Health (NAMI) on Nov 16 when NAMI will provide an overview of integrated wellness and share techniques and resources to help teens keep themselves well throughout their lives and deal with problems as they arise.
“Brain Bunch” will be presented Nov 3 and is a Harry Potter Youth Mental Health program that helps teens improve their mental strength by discovering martial arts strategies used to promote self-defense. This Harry Potter themed activity is for both tweens and teens.
The library’s Mental Wellness Series programs are free and open to all teens and parents. Registration is recommended for all programs as space is limited. Visit the library calendar at mtpl.org to sign up or to read more about other programs or to sign up for any other upcoming library programs.
