Mental Wellness Matters, Now More Than Ever
Psychological distress has become increasingly visible in the United States due to the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The disruption to daily life has included:
- Social isolation
- Economic hardship
- Increased stress and anxiety
According to Mental Health America’s 2024 report, only 60.5% of youth ages 6–17 in the U.S. meet all three criteria for flourishing, a strengths-based indicator of positive mental health and well-being. Flourishing is defined by youth who:
- Show interest and curiosity in learning new things
- Work to finish tasks they start
- Stay calm and in control when faced with challenges
This means that many youth are still developing the key skills, like resilience, self-regulation, and persistence, that support lifelong well-being.
TEY OUT LOUD Mindset: Supporting Youth Flourishing Through Proactive Mental Health
TEY OUT LOUD is not a service—it’s a mindset shift.
We share resources and reflections that encourage individuals to care for their mental health before crisis ensues. This proactive approach aligns with what it means for youth to flourish, to stay curious, resilient, and emotionally regulated when faced with life’s challenges.
By prioritizing wellness through the art of pen and paper, we help youth (and the adults who support them)
- Stay engaged, curious, and task-focused
- Improve overall well-being and quality of life
- Strengthen self-awareness and emotional regulation through reflective writing
