We worked specifically with youth in areas of gun violence using positive human qualities, such as empathy, compassion, and altruism to counter the anxiety and depression that currently undermines the health and well-being of many people from all walks of life. Well-being activities involved meditation, smoothie-making, yoga, breathing exercises, hiking, and reflecting on one's life and goals.
