Strategies may include building positive experiences, increasing emotional awareness, and using tools to change or regulate emotions in the moment.

The goal is to help youth feel more in control of their emotional responses, improve confidence in handling challenging situations, and build a stronger sense of stability in their day-to-day lives.
