Not only can dismissing mental health result in mentally struggling, but physically as well. People who are overcome by things like stress, anxiety, etc. can often get headaches, become tired easily, struggle sleeping, or even feel nauseous or ache. Find the source of your stress and how it affects you. Some common stressors for teens today are social media, current events, and school!

Hi! My name is Nina Helewa. I'm 16 years old, a rising senior, and a beginner coder! I made this website to help people who struggle with practicing self care. A lot of teens today get easily overwhelmed by school, news, etc. and current events like quarantine haven't been helping, so I wanted to make this website as a reminder to take care of yourself and give ways for people to take care of themselves when they aren't at their best!
