Hi, Anne: If you do separate searches for "teen" and "youth" on the main Video section, you'll find quite a few videos. Otherwise, scrolling through the videos and looking for images with teens will also work.
I used this video to wrap up the discussion of ACE's/toxic stress/resiliency with a group of teens I'm doing an ACE's workshop with at a local alternative school. They absolutely loved this video and I'd love to use similar videos if they are on this site. I'd be so appreciative of some guidance in finding similar videos to use with teens. It was powerful and relatable!
Wow, Jojo! This is a very powerful video. Thank you for putting your story out there. I imagine it will touch many lives and other children can see that things can turn around.....that they do matter, that people do care and there are many that have a similar story.
