WE BELIEVE IN...

Being Part of the Solution

There is certainly not a shortage of problems in the world, but we have a choice on how we will respond to them...ignore them, complain about them, blame others for them, or choose to make a positive impact. At C4WI, we help solve world problems that affect the health and well-being of adolescent youth through the development of prevention strategies that are both Christ-centered and evidence-based (proven to be effective through medical research). 

CURRENT TRENDS

Teen Challenges Today

On the surface, the majority of teens appear to be healthy, but deep inside many are not well. According to the Youth Risk Behavioral Survey conducted in the United States:

  • 2 in 5 high school youth report feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness
  • 1 in 5 seriously consider suicide
  • 1 in 10 have made a suicide attempt

Furthermore, adolescents from around the globe report:

  • insufficient problem-solving skills
  • social isolation and loneliness
  • lack of meaningful relationships
  • poor self image
  • absence of purpose and meaning in life
  • fear of the future
  • heightened levels of stress
  • ineffective coping skills
  • feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood by their parents
