Heather Hedin, School Health Consultant at MDH:
Consider printing the flyer and hanging it in your high school health office and sharing with teens and/or parents - this program's intent is to help fill a gap for those students who might be on a waitlist or have other challenges to accessing counseling services.
PULSE is a free, weekly virtual community that brings teens together on zoom to talk openly, connect authentically, and support one another in a safe, judgment-free environment.
No commitment. Teens can come and talk or just listen.
Who It’s For?
High School teens who want…
• a place to talk
• people who “get it”
• practical tools for everyday stress
• community, not judgement
• guidance that’s real, safe, and grounded
Cost: FREE
How It Works
• Live weekly virtual sessions held on Zoom
• Co-moderated by a college student ambassador who bridges the age gap and keeps discussions relatable and relevant to important topics for teens today
• Co-moderated by a pediatrician, ensuring emotional safety, clinical expertise, and high-quality guidance
• Small-group format that creates trust and meaningful peer connection

February’s Trait was Kindness! Here are the Vaughan Steffensrud winners of this award! These students consistently practice kindness-using respectful language, helping peers, and taking turns! Great job!
