Resources for teens facing adversity

Abstract

The Resources for Teens Facing Adversity list provides links to both online and physical resources for teens experiencing a myriad of issues – depression, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, anxiety, or sexual assault. Teen librarians should familiarize themselves with these resources, and maintain a basic knowledge of what is available to teens in need. It could also be useful to post these links to your library‘s teen webpage, to make them available to youth that may not feel comfortable broaching a particular topic in a face-to-face setting.
