Teens Connect is a program of Mentis that supports the mental health and wellness of teens in Napa County. Our inclusive group of compassionate youth serve as mental health advocates in our community, engage in projects that promote wellness, support one another, and speak out about issues that are important to young people.

HISTORY

Teens Connect was founded in 2016 after Napa County tragically lost two teenagers to suicide. After successfully collaborating with Mentis for several years, the two organizations merged in 2020. Today, Teens Connect is a cornerstone program of Mentis, which now offers a complete continuum of mental health care to people of all ages.
