Review Quotes: "This phenomenal comic book breaks down the broad concept of "mental health" in a way that's highly relevant to teens in 2024. Today's teens are not the teens of the 60s, 90s, 00s, or even 2010s. They face unprecedented levels of emotional distress and exposure to societal unrest, compounded by the collective trauma of the pandemic that has affected all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not. Empowering teens through psychoeducation has never been more crucial.
Although Cara Bean's book was inspired by the struggles of her adolescent students, it applies to anyone no matter your age! Whether you're on your own recovery journey, working in a helping profession, or simply looking to build resilience, I highly recommend Ms. Bean's novel for its insights and its value as an alternative tool to truly meet clients where they're at."
