  • Struggling to find purpose in what you do?

    Lots of young adults feel stuck or unmotivated. After high school, it can be hard to find things that feel right for you.

    In THREADS, you’ll find steps that help you discover activities you might enjoy. We’ll also talk about ways to get involved in things that give your life meaning.

  • Feeling drained and out of balance?

    Eating poorly, moving too little and sleeping at odd hours can leave you tired, stressed and unmotivated.

    THREADS helps you think about low-cost things you already enjoy. You’ll pick simple steps to eat better, move more and sleep better, so you have more energy.

  • Overwhelmed by stress and emotions?

    When feelings pile up, stress can leave you anxious or lost.

    THREADS helps you find healthy ways to work through your feelings, with other people and on your own. You’ll practice ways to handle stress, so you feel more in control.
