“Am I trippin?” | Teen mental health (with Zion)

Helping Teens Navigate Depression, Stress & Anxiety with Confidence

Mental health is a big deal, but let’s be real—most teens don’t want another dry lecture about it. That’s why Am I Trippin? isn’t just a presentation—it’s a conversation. Led by Zion “Z” Givens, this interactive, high-energy session breaks down the stigma around teen mental health in a way that actually connects with young audiences.

Too often, teens struggling with anxiety, depression, or stress feel isolated. They wonder, Is it just me? Am I trippin’? The truth? They’re not alone. Through humor, real-life stories, and engaging activities, Zion creates a space where teens feel seen, heard, and understood.

What Makes Mental Health So Important for Teens?

The teenage years are full of pressure—social media, academics, relationships, and the constant expectation to have it all figured out. It’s no wonder mental health challenges among young people are at an all-time high.

• 1 in 5 teens experiences a mental health disorder every year.
• Suicide is the second leading cause of death among people ages 10-24.
• Over 70% of teens say anxiety and depression are major issues in their peer groups.

Despite these statistics, mental health is often overlooked or brushed off as “just a phase.” Our goal is to change that by normalizing these discussions and giving teens the tools they need to manage their emotions in a healthy way.

What Makes “Am I Trippin?” Different?

We get it—most teens hear “mental health talk” and immediately check out. That’s why Am I Trippin? flips the script and makes learning about mental health engaging, relatable, and even fun.

Here’s what sets this presentation apart:

• Real Talk, No Sugarcoating – Zion keeps it authentic, sharing his own experiences and the struggles teens actually face today. No robotic PowerPoint slides here.
• Interactive & Engaging – Through Q&A sessions, group discussions, and hands-on activities, this isn’t just a sit-and-listen lecture—it’s an experience.
• Breaking the Stigma – We address the biggest myths about mental health and teach teens how to open up, support each other, and ask for help.
• Practical Takeaways – Teens walk away with real coping strategies they can use every day, from stress management techniques to ways to help a friend in need.

This isn’t about lecturing or overwhelming teens with statistics—it’s about empowering them with tools to thrive.
