2 Items From the Media That Can Help You Frame Your Thinking as You Go Back to School

Mat Edvik and Summer Morris discuss ways to help teenage girls increase their self-esteem and the level of happiness they are experiencing.

"Mat Edvik has helped me overcome many personal issues over the time I've known him. He has known me at my weakest, most vulnerable state and has been extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I could come to him with anything, whether it be regarding my issues with depression, finding a reason to live, and finding purpose in life. He helped me discover that I was valueable and deserved to live an incredible life."
