Wendy Bailey sends us news about Wells County Alive & Well:
Dear Friends,
Because of you, we had an amazing school year in 2023-24. Over 3,200 fifth through 12th grade students were impacted in our area. Through our anonymous surveys, we learned that a large number of students struggle with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Too many of them also admitted that they do not want to live. We taught them about their value as human beings, methods of improving their brain health, tips for stress reduction and skills for coping with difficulties We also provided them with contact information for sources of help. If you would like to support us contact 650 N. Main St. Suite B, Bluffton, IN 46714, 855-425-4832, wendy@aliveandwellteens.com, aliveandwellteens.com.
