What are effective ways to support teen mental health?

Supporting the mental health of teens can be challenging, especially with the many pressures they face today. Parents and caregivers often feel unsure about how to start conversations about feelings, stress, and overall well-being. With issues like school pressures and the impact of social media, it’s essential to find ways to connect with them.

One approach I’ve found helpful is establishing relaxed routines that encourage open dialogue. Simple activities like going for a walk or doing pilates together can create a comfortable environment for discussion. What strategies have you tried that worked well for you? Are there particular resources or tools you recommend for supporting teens in this area?
