Creative Expression for Teens can help young people navigate their teen years with fun activities

It's tough being a teen! Your body is rapidly developing, your hormones are raging, you're facing pressure from your parents and your peers, and the outcome of your academic career is at stake! Plus acne!

To help young adults weather the storm of adolescence, the Forsyth County Central Library is partnering with Forsyth County Behavioral Services to present Creative Expression for Teens. It's a bi-monthly program where teenagers can come learn important life skills -- building self-esteem, advocating for yourself, setting goals, and more -- all while creating art and doing fun hands-on activities.

Teens 12-17 are welcome. Registration is not required. For more information, please email Mia at jordanmc@forsyth.cc.
