Lack of physical activity in teens contributes to stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. Decreased activity levels in at-risk and homeless teens are often more prevalent, with greater mental health consequences.

Sleep deprivation is prevalent in teens, and can have detrimental effects on both physical and mental health. For at-risk and homeless students these effects are magnified, with devastating consequences.
