Every week, Jamie opens the doors of the Nappanee Clubhouse to teens, inviting them to embark on a journey of self-discovery and relaxation through Teen Wellness Friday. This program offers a safe and welcoming space where teenagers can explore the sensory room, participate in engaging activities, or simply take a moment to unwind and reflect.

The impact of Teen Wellness Friday has been nothing short of extraordinary. Teens who have participated in the program have experienced a significant positive shift in their well-being. They have found a valuable outlet to express their emotions, connect with their peers, and most importantly, have fun in a nurturing environment.

Through Jamie’s guidance and support, the teens have discovered the power of self-care and the importance of mental and emotional well-being.
