Why GlowUp Youth Workshops?
Stigma and shame are the main reasons teens don’t seek help.
85% of adolescents reported low self-esteem, and 89% of adolescents say fashion improves self-esteem.
Facilitated by a licensed clinical social worker and certified fashion stylist, GlowUp Youth Workshops use the universal language of fashion to de-stigmatize mental health.
With expressive arts and dialectal/cognitive behavioral coaching, ages 12-17 are effectively engaged to:
Foster real conversations
Inspire behavioral transformations
Discover purpose and self-worth
