[Recap] Uplifting Teens & Young Adults

On May 27th, 2023, MAS-SSF’s Shifa for Youth program held an informative virtual workshop, Uplifting Teens & Young Adults.

This workshop presented information on how youth can be uplifted and the impacts of sadness, loneliness, and depression.

We also discussed potential causes of the effects of social media, identified what is normal from what is concerning, validated fluctuations in emotions as a normal process, and acknowledged the presence of toxic positivity as well.

At the end, youth were provided with support resources & organizations that they could follow.

• Youth-led workshop by 7 youth leaders from the Shifa for Youth Program
• 1-hour presentation on the topic of uplifting youth
