Wellness Centers for Youth-Reading Spaces

Feature on ABC 10 News

Positively San Diego

Cafe environment

Our pilot program for this Wellness Space was mindful of creating an inviting and welcoming environment for teens to lounge, read, connect, and find reprieve in community partner resources. Many of the books selected were encouraged by social workers, therapists, and educational leadership.

Diverse Voices

An important element in creating this reading area is providing books by diverse voices. In addition, journals and resources on mental health and wellness are available. We provided books not easily available in libraries and included requests from the students like, “Humans of New York”.

Team effort

It takes a team of dedicated of service committed volunteers to make the vision come alive! We are fortunate to have the vision and the team to bring the dream to fruition. We look forward to developing the additional Wellness Spaces for teens later this year.
