Our Executive Director spoke with @PattrikPerez and @DenverChannel for this story, sharing insights & resources for educators/parents alike. denver7.com/news/local-new…
"Studies have shown that people who are exposed to violence, neglect, poverty and family problems early in life have faster brain aging and can have problems with their mental health later on." cnn.com/2022/12/02/hea…
Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the senseless violence that occurred last night in Colorado Springs. Unequivocally, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community. We see you, we love you, and we’ll continue to promote a space that celebrates all youth and rejects hate.
Teens across CO are increasingly telling us that #ClimateChange is their number one concern. HUGE topic, but this 20 min convo with @laschifter12 provides practical, actionable ways schools can lead on the issue. the-harvard-edcast.simplecast.com/episodes/empow…
Did you know that #sleep has a MASSIVE impact on your physical & mental well-being? It's true! Unfortunately, research also shows most teens aren't getting nearly enough sleep, leading to stress & other health risks. Learn more here: iriseaboveco.org/together-we-ri… #IRISEABOVE
Researchers compared a practice of daily #mindfulness meditation to taking Lexapro to control anxiety symptoms. The study found that meditators got equivalent relief — without the side effects. npr.org/sections/healt…
"[R]esearch suggests that awe-inducing experiences come with a bounty of benefits, from improved well-being to prosocial behavior." bigthink.com/the-learning-c…
How do *you* fill the world with good? Join hundreds of teens from all across Colorado by showing us and you can win one of several prizes, too! For more info, click here: iriseaboveco.org/fill-your-worl… #IRISEABOVE
It's rare for our full team to all be in the same place at the same time, and rarer still for us to be photographed!
Great to join @RiseAboveCO to discuss the findings from their youth survey and the important work ahead to address youth vaping, marijuana, and opioid use. We will continue to work on prevention and education strategies to protect our teens.
Goals? You’ve got them. And whether your goals are about graduation, family, athletics, or something else- let your future help motivate and guide you! What we do today has a direct impact on all the days yet to come... #IRISEABOVE
Did you know that stress is the number one cause of teen drug use? It's true, and it's also true that we can do a LOT to minimize and manage the stress in our lives. To learn more, click here: iriseaboveco.org/rise-above/str…
Confirmation bias is twisting the facts to fit your beliefs. Critical thinking is bending your beliefs to fit the facts. Seeking the truth is not about validating the story in your head. It's about rigorously vetting and accepting the story that matches the reality in the world.
Do you have questions about prescription drugs? Like how do they affect the teen brain? Can they cause an overdose? What are the legal issues around their misuse? We have answers. Learn more here: iriseaboveco.org/straight-dope/…
"Any unit increase in the average household health of your community contributes to a 72% increase to your own health." Fascinating stuff from Tracy Matsue Loeffelholz and @yesmagazine! yesmagazine.org/health-happine…
Great news! Research continues to show that most Colorado teens don't drink alcohol or use other drugs. In fact, most Colorado teens are fully aware of the negative ways drugs will impact their life, relationships, and future goals. #IRISEABOVE
A new survey reveals 40% of teens living with an adult who has a substance use problem; just 2 years ago it was 25%. @RiseAboveCO Executive Director @KentMaclennan joined @MartyLenz_KOA on CMN with the data, and more... Listen live: KOAColorado.com/listen koacolorado.iheart.com/featured/color…
Despite the challenges CO youth are facing, the vast majority are not regularly using substances. In addition, fewer are overestimating their peers' use of marijuana and vaping products. Read why that’s key: riseaboveco.org/articles/press…
It's not too late to join @EricaBreunlin & @JenBrownColo as they discuss the status of children’s mental health with local experts. Registration is free! Join us TONIGHT - 6-7 p.m. Register: cosun.co/3xk50pR
Concern is relatively high among CO teens about poss. of receiving laced substances, with 90% seeing at least a “moderate amount of risk” associated w/ pills purchased online, our new survey shows. riseaboveco.org/articles/press…
