Resources for Youth Well-Being

Behavioral Health Sites, Apps & Videos for Ages 12 to 22

Compass Mark has pulled together resources that might help if you’re ages 12 to 22 and your well-being needs a boost. Or—if you’re worried about someone close to you. While our mission is to prevent addiction, we know that mental health is closely linked, and that many mental health symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, can also be prevented or lessened.

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. Every year you wait to to try it lessens your risk of having a drinking problem in the future—that’s brain science.

Cannabis use actually makes it harder to handle stress, fear, anxiety or sadness over time. And people under the influence are less likely to pick up on problems in relationships.

Cessation tools for quitting nicotine- smoking or vaping- are effective and free. Don’t let nicotine control you–quit today!

Gambling—sports betting, fantasy sports, lottery, phone games & more—is on the rise for teens & young adults, due to how available it is. Unfortunately, so is addiction.

Mental health stigma is dropping. Young people are so much more willing to talk about anxiety, depression, and more. You deserve the best mental health possible, so check out these tools.

Technology adds a lot to our lives, but it can get to be too much. Want a break from screens or gaming? Time limits, planned breaks & adding in physical activity can create healthier habits.
