insights on youth well-being: articles, reflections & more

Team Unbreakable recognizes that mental health challenges among Canadian youth are a serious and growing concern and have become more prevalent since the pandemic, with reports that 20% of adolescents regularly experience symptoms of anxiety and depression. Research shows that running as little as twice a week can lead to a better mood, significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and support positive mental health. Studies also show that running can lead to improved physical health, self-esteem, and social connections.
