Our partners at South Bay Families Connected, now have a Virtual Teen Center. "It was created for South Bay youth by South Bay youth who recognize the mental health challenges that so many teens face during this challenging time as we stay safer at home together. To create connection and to share tips for wellness, they have either produced videos, or helped us curate them from national sources. Together we hope this page may inspire you to practice self care and kindness, connect with your passion, and let you know you are not alone. We’re all in this together." SBFC
