What if teens learned how their brain works — and how to use that knowledge to feel more confident and prepared for real life? In this 16-week, science-based course, teens (ages 13+) will learn practical life skills for happiness and well-being, grounded in positive psychology and neuroscience. This class is not therapy and not a lecture — it’s an interactive, skills-focused experience designed to help teens better understand themselves and practice skills they can use for years to come. What teens will explore: -Their unique character strengths -How habits, mindset, and emotions affect their well-being -Science-based and skill-focused strategies for handling challenges, pressure, and everyday ups and downs What they will learn: -How to leverage and use their unique strengths in everyday life -How to build skills and habits that support mental and emotional well-being -How to apply these skills to school, friendships, and future goals How the class is taught -Science-based concepts explained in clear, teen-friendly language -Interactive class activities that build self-awareness, understanding, and real-life readiness -Fun activities to test their own brain to body neural pathways -Simple, printable tools teens can use during class and at home By the end of the course, students will leave with their own Teen Happiness Toolbox — their personalized set of skills, insights, and strategies they can return to anytime life feels challenging. This class is ideal for teens who want to better understand themselves, and build real-life skills that support their own happiness and well-being now and into the future.
