Teen Program Highlights

Teaming Up Against Anxiety


Teen Smart Girls and Wise Guys collaborated to discuss the topic of anxiety. Together, they used a self-check worksheet to identify signs of anxiety and learn various strategies to cope with everyday challenges.

Balancing Books and Breaks


With state testing and end-of-year academic preparations in full force, our teens are prioritizing stress-reducing sessions and enjoying competitive games during our After-School Program to unwind and stay motivated.

Embracing Self-Love


Teen Smart Girls delved into the importance of self-care, self-awareness, and self-love. In a collaborative session, they made DIY soothing body scrubs for relaxation.

Fentanyl Awareness Event with Retired DEA Agent


Harper Teen Center hosted an eye-opening presentation titled "The Truth About Fentanyl." This free event was geared toward 6th to 12th graders and featured retired DEA Special Agent Rocky Herron.


Rocky provided invaluable insights on how to keep oneself and others safe from drugs, delivering a highly informative session. We were fortunate to have Rocky at our facility, educating our youth on the dangers of drugs and promoting safety and awareness.
