Hi Everyone!
It's so easy for us to fall into bad habits (like eating junk food or staying up all night playing video games or watching anime), especially during long school breaks. Does this sound like you? January is a month when lots of people renew their dedication to good health, so I thought I'd share some resources to help you get there!
What healthy habits do you struggle with? I have a hard time getting enough sleep! Which healthy habits are you trying to build? Let me know how it's going by emailing me at jplyouthservices@coj.net, subject line: Teen Think Tank.
Stay safe, have a great week!
