We serve over 8,000 teens with our videos in Junior and Senior High Schools every week!
Our teen program, WORTH, targets what we believe to be at the core of mental illness in teens: low self-worth. This program consists of a video series produced at Arukah which features local actors from the Illinois Valley that are passionate about sharing messages of mental health with our youth. Videos use culturally-relevant and age-appropriate themes and elements to convey these messages in a way that teens can identify with. We address self-esteem, bullying, anxiety, depression, social media, self-harm, anger, failing and overcoming, and much more!
