Adolescence is a crucial period for developing and maintaining social and emotional habits important for mental well-being. Young people continue to face increasing challenges in their daily lives. Many teens lack essential interpersonal communication skills, which prevent them from articulating their struggles. Art works as a preventative and positive coping mechanism. Supportive environments in the family, at school and in the wider community are also of critical importance.
