Tools, insight, and support for the teen years.
Let’s Talk Teens is a nonprofit specializing in youth mental health and digital wellbeing.
The mission of Let’s Talk Teens is to provide students, parents and educators with tools to stay or become mentally and emotionally healthy in the social media and gaming world kids live in.
The teen years can be challenging especially with the added pressure of the digital world. As a parent, educator, or youth worker, there is nothing more complicated or critical than keeping our kids safe, healthy, and able to navigate an ever-changing modern world. We provide resources, coaching, leadership development and workshops to help our kids stay emotionally and mentally healthy.
Our founder Bree Jensen, has been passionate about teen issues since she was a peer counselor for high school students wanting to commit suicide. For the past 16 years, She has been zigzagging across the country talking to families, schools, and communities about the harrowing realities and beautiful victories they experience. All too often, so many people – teens and adults alike – come up to me and say, “I need help but don’t know how to ask or where to find it.”
Having lived through her own life challenges, she knows the journey can be long and at times feel hopeless. But she has seen what some support, tools, and encouragement can do to help young adults overcome their greatest challenges. And now with a teenager of her own, she is experiencing them first-hand as a parent.
Bree created Let’s Talk Teens so you don’t have to wing it or feel alone when it gets hard. (Bonus if it brings some comfort or a laugh when you need it 🙂 The LTT team hopes it gives you a place to find and share insight, wisdom, and practical tools with a supportive online community. Above all, may it help you raise the authentic, emotionally healthy teens the world needs.
Love,
Bree Jensen & the LTT team

In today’s current social climate, Teenagers have a lot to navigate through and around, they have barriers blocking their progress daily. One of those barriers is communication – they’re losing the ability to effectively speak to one another and authority. I’m so excited about Let’s Talk Teens because this is a subject matter that deserves our attention, they are our future leaders! And Bree has the experience, heart and knowledge to get the conversation started. So let’s start talking!
