Mission Prep (866-786-4251) announces a new guide, focusing on the rising prevalence of teen stress, common signs, and effective treatment strategies.
-- As many experts now refer to a “teenage stress epidemic,” California and Virginia-based mental health program Mission Prep has launched a new guide highlighting the common causes, signs that parents should look out for, and ways to help adolescents manage their situation. The new piece forms part of a growing online resource, designed to shine light on common teen mental health struggles.

Offering specialized residential mental health programs for teenage boys and girls, Mission Prep has extensive knowledge of the challenges adolescents can face in modern life. The new guide was therefore developed to share these insights with both teens and their parents, and experts are also available to offer more personalized guidance.
A 2023 report from the American Psychological Association found that 91% of Gen Z teens said they experienced at least one physical or emotional symptom due to stress. Another survey by the Pew Research Center showed that 70% of teens view anxiety and depression as major problems among their peers. Mental health professionals explain that these figures are not just statistics—they reflect real, daily experiences of young people across the country.
As Mission Prep’s new guide explains, several factors are contributing to higher stress levels in teens, such as pressure to achieve academically, fear about safety and gun violence, political instability, social media, and personal problems. The organization states that signs can include significant mood or behavior changes, fatigue, physical ailments, lack of motivation, and changes in appetite.
“There’s often a disconnect between what teens say and what they’re really feeling,” one Mission Prep clinician explains. “That’s why observing changes and initiating calm, supportive conversations is so important.”
Mission Prep states that, while many parents are reluctant to intervene, talking remains one of the most effective first steps that parents can take. In addition, practical support, such as helping them manage homework or promoting healthy eating, can help them better manage their stress levels.
“Mission Prep aims to provide support and sustainable change for adolescents and families who are challenged by teen mental health issues through our adolescent mental health programs,” the company continued. “To do this, we utilize a blend of time-tested therapeutic approaches as well as innovative interventions, preparing teens for the challenges of life and giving families the fresh start they need.”
