For Students (Youth)

Mental health issues in youth have been steadily increasing in the last decade, even prior to the pandemic. Now more than ever, teens are in crisis and need support to navigate the riptide of emotions they are experiencing. Many parents also do not feel equipped to identify mental health issues, let alone feel prepared to handle them. The mental health crisis is deep and real for teens and parents seeking answers. After seeing the same issues repeat themselves in their practices, youth mental health experts Dr. Caroline Danda and Carron Montgomery published the newest book in The Invisible Riptide series, From Surviving to Vibing: Filling in the Gaps. This book serves as a mental health resource for teens, tweens, young adults, and their caregivers to help recognize issues, open communication, and create connection.

This impactful book offers a solution for those who do not have access to a therapist or other mental health resources. The book helps people go from simply getting by to thriving by learning to establish meaningful connections that lead to a more fulfilling life. By providing guidelines and impactful questions, the book helps readers navigate emotions, identify values, and make choices that cultivate positive friend groups and promote self-esteem. From Surviving to Vibing is full of information about mental health and building resilience that everyone needs.

The book is not just for teens and young adults. Parents can use the book to gain insight into the world their children are experiencing and learn more about mental health issues that are affecting them. Although adults may remember being insecure and vulnerable at that age, it is almost impossible to grasp how much the pandemic and social media have magnified those issues. Filling in the gaps across generations creates a shared, more accurate understanding that promotes connection and discussion.

This book is a valuable resource for any organization where youth and families gather. Mental health issues are complex, run deep, and have been steadily increasing over the last decade. It can be intimidating for parents and caregivers to tackle these issues alone. Now, they don't have to. With this book, you can help your children take on life's most daunting challenges.

The Invisible Riptide is a story of hope, healing, and connection. The book is a tool for all ages and is filled with meaningful life lessons. The illustrations are as powerful as the words, leaving room for the subconscious to show us a way towards achieving real health and balance. This is the first installment in a series of books for children, adolescents, and parents that provides guidance and normalizes the emotional experience that we all have but do not necessarily discuss.

The book follows the story of Stella, who wakes up with whirling and swirling feelings in her belly and doesn't know why. It seems that no one can explain it. Stella ultimately goes to see a therapist - or feelings doctor - who helps her understand the whirling swirling feelings in her belly are her body's emotional thermometer.

The whirling swirling feelings are her emotional riptide. She realizes that not only can she feel this riptide on the inside, but she can also feel the emotional current of those around her. She discovers how to have emotional safety - the ability to identify her feelings, express them, and have them validated. Through Stella's journey, readers learn that health and well-being are supported through deep connection with others and by owning one's feelings.

This impactful story gives children the language to explain their feelings to build the necessary skills to surf the riptide of their emotions. It is meant to be read to children by parents, coaches, counselors, and any adult who works with children.
