Wellbeing Card For Teens: ‘I Still See You In The Silence’

This was originally written with teenagers in mind as part of an adolescent mental health range. But it would also suit a friend or partner. Sometimes it’s difficult to know what to say, and how to say it, and sometimes it’s just about being there. This wellbeing card is a great way to show you care and to say ‘thinking of you’ from a distance.

Anxiety and mental health problems in teens are perpetually increasing. There are lots of additional challenges around social media and the role that this plays in teenage mental health and wellbeing. The Child Mind Institute says, ‘It can be hard to notice anxiety because teens are good at hiding their feelings’. So you can reach out to your anxious young adult by way of just popping this wellbeing card for teens in the post or leaving it on their pillow at night. Gentle acts like this will help them to know that you are there if they need you, even if they don’t want to talk. Sometimes having a hot chocolate under a blanket at the end of a stressful day can be exactly what they need, even if that’s just sitting in silence.
