## Resource

Adolescent boys face a hidden anxiety crisis, yet are 3x less likely than girls to seek help. On Mental Health Today Show, John Cordray, LPC, talks with Jarrod Hoffman about teen mental wellness, and they explore practical coping skills, emotional resilience techniques, and anxiety management strategies for teen boys and young adults. Learn how to break through socialization barriers and build emotional wellness before anxiety escalates. A little about Jarrod: I've experienced grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, job loss, purposelessness, and isolation. My parents divorced when I was 10. I found porn at age 11. I found healing through counseling at 25. I help children, teens, and families who are dealing with challenging life circumstances, young adults looking for life direction, and those in recovery because therapy helped me. My life experiences are what led me to become the therapist I am today.
