Working to Reduce Stress in Teens & Young Adults

Change to Chill is a free, award-winning, mental well-being resource offered by Allina Health. Our interactive website is tailored to both teens and the adults who work with them. Change to Chill helps teens become more aware of the things that stress them out and equips them with relevant tools and resources to better manage stress and anxiety, so they can live happier, more resilient lives.

Who we are

Change to Chill is designed for teens ages 11-19, as well as for educators/parents/guardians who support teens but can be used at any age! According to the American Psychological Association, teens are under pressure and are reporting stress levels and symptoms comparable with that of adults. Stress is linked to symptoms of depression and anxiety, which can lead to further psychological and physical concerns. Change to Chill was created especially for teens and by teens, in response to these rising rates of mental health issues.

Change to Chill covers topics related to mental well-being including:

Guided imagery
Meditation
Mindfulness
Getting perspective
Managing stress & anxiety
Reducing stigma
Life balance

Topics can be viewed from the “teen” side of the website or from the “parents” side of the website. All topics are covered on both sides of the website. Allina Health’s topic area experts and curriculum writers craft the lessons and activities, all aligned with National Health and Physical Education Standards. Change to Chill content is always expanding, so check in often to keep up to date!
