Teen Hangouts
A chill space for Teenagers ages 13-17
First Thursday of the month (with exceptions for holidays)
BFRBs suck for a lot of reasons.
- Fearing permanent damage.
- Affecting your social life.
- Stealing time from hobbies you love.
- Feeling like you don't know what else to turn to.
You aren't the only person in the world with a BFRB, even though it might feel that way sometimes.
Teen Hangouts are led by a BFRB Peer Coach who has been there.
Hang out with people who understand.
Meeting people who go through the same thing that you do is a great way to shatter the shame that comes with a BFRB. It feels better to be in community!
Teen Hangouts are a safe haven that allow you to:
Meet your Peer Coach!
