The Coping with Confidence workshop marked a significant milestone as the first youth-led initiative under the LA Youth Ambassador Campaign, centering on community wellness, support, and empowerment. Designed and led by youth, the event created a safe, nurturing space for participants to explore self-care and mental wellness. Held in an uplifting, inclusive environment, the workshop offered free wellness resources, books, snacks, and ice cream, making it both accessible and inviting for all attendees. 

The session began with an intimate activity focused on personal affirmations, encouraging participants to reflect on their strengths and build confidence from within. This powerful introduction set the tone for a meaningful experience rooted in self-love and community connection. Following the affirmations, attendees participated in a guided yoga session led by instructor Reba from Heal One World, fostering relaxation, mindfulness, and physical well-being. Reba’s compassionate guidance helped ground the group, reinforcing the importance of holistic approaches to mental health. 

The Coping with Confidence workshop was more than just an event—it was a celebration of youth leadership, resilience, and the power of community in healing together.
