Programs for Youth

At Straight Up Health, we believe mental wellness shouldn’t wait for a crisis. That’s why we focus on proactive care for youth — helping them build confidence, resilience, and real-world skills before the pressure piles up.

Our youth programs are designed to support teens as they navigate one of the most transformative and turbulent stages of life. Whether they’re feeling stuck, stretched too thin, or simply looking for more direction, we meet them where they are, and help them grow forward.

Proactive care for the next generation of leaders.

Why Proactive Youth Care Matters

Early support = long-term impact

Emotional regulation, goal-setting, communication — these aren’t just “soft skills.” They’re life tools. Investing early helps teens stay grounded now and thrive later.

Safe spaces to explore, connect, and lead

Today’s youth are facing more pressure than ever. Our programs provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where they can reflect, reset, and rise.

Confidence to take the next step

We help teens build clarity about who they are and who they want to become — with mentors, workshops, and experiences that go beyond school or therapy.
