Even sharing a link can make a difference

COS believes that we can all make some sort of contribution to help change our current culture of highly stressed, over-scheduled, anxious teens. Get the conversation started.  Let family and friends know about resources available. Share a link on our Facebook page. Go to a meeting. Attend a Mindfulness class. Thank a teacher. These are all simple ways everyone can make a difference.

And if you’re able to contribute more, please contact us. Come to a meeting. Join one of our groups focusing on the action items listed below. Make a difference.
