Teens participating in Jelani Nichols’s “Motivating the Teen Spirit” program have better mental health outcomes and are less likely to struggle with depression, anxiety, and suicide. Motivating the Teen Spirit’s vision is a world where every teen will have access and choice to become empowered and make integrity-based decisions through self-love as part of a global movement called Teen Spirit. Through this movement, people from every race, religion, and socioeconomic background will be brought together in the same spirit to create healthier and happier teens.
