5 Conversation Starters

For parents • Start with curiosity

Five open-ended questions help you begin a conversation with an anxious teen. Make space to listen, reduce the pressure, and explore what support would feel helpful.

Questions before you begin.

  • MindStrong offers workshops, speaking, and practical mental fitness resources for young people and the adults supporting them. Life and mental fitness coaching is available to adults 18 and older. Milo picture books introduce younger children to mental fitness with the grown-ups who guide them, and the Milo workbook for ages 8–14 is coming soon.

  • MindStrong offers practical mental fitness education through workshops and resources, plus life and mental fitness coaching for adults 18 and older. The focus is understanding thoughts, practicing everyday skills, and making intentional choices. MindStrong complements clinical care; it does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions or replace therapy or crisis support.

  • Practice alongside the young person. Invite reflection, listen without rushing to fix the answer, and ask what would feel like a useful next step. Schools and youth programs can contact MindStrong about workshops, speaking, and practical resources.

  • Visit the Coaching page and request a free 20-minute consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, the six-week format, current availability, and whether coaching is a good fit.

  • MindStrong is not a crisis service. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If someone is in immediate danger or needs emergency medical attention, call 911.
