Summer can be an important time for rest, growth, connection and recovery for teens. At the same time, changes in routine, social pressures, increased screen time, work stress, sleep disruption or mental health concerns can impact emotional wellness. Families play an important role in helping teens stay connected, supported and emotionally healthy during the summer months
