  • ● Upcoming Events
    We are working hard to build a platform where teenagers can meet pre-screened college student volunteers to be their mentors and friends.
    A lot of stress that teenagers have been experiencingis from unknown things related to their future college life. Teenagers can make friends with their mentors, ask questions about their experience going to college, and be independent and away from their families. This could be having one-on-one counseling sessions, forming a support group, or hosting workshops to answer teens’ concerns and distribute educational resources, or any kinds of activities that will help connect high schoolers and their mentors, empower the youth, and improve their mental health.
    Please let us know if somebody you know or you are currently in college with a major or minor in Psychology, seek volunteer opportunities with high schoolers, and are willing to contribute to Youth mental health care improvement. Please feel free to contact us at watlyfoundation@gmail.com

  • ● Parenting Teens During the Pandemic(Dec. 11, 2020)
    Since March 2020, all the students have been staying at home 24/7. The dramatic change of life-style, no social activities, and lack of exercise have caused a lot of teenagers suffering from weight gain, mood change, depression, anxiety, and other mental problems. Trying to avoid family members, not talking to their parents and many other issues at home are not uncommon. We have invited Julie Hogue, who has more than 25 years of experiences working with teenagers to talk to our parents about how to parent their teens during pandemic.
