Self-efficacy is the belief we have in ourselves and our ability to succeed. Negative self-perception is common in young adults, is strongly correlated with depression, and is greater in homeless teens.

Thank you to Niagara Water for their generous grant of 140 cases of water for our high school pantries!

Assisting homeless students financially is necessary, though providing the resources, guidance and structure for properly managing the money is essential in breaking the cycle of dependency, and putting the student on a path to self-sufficiency.

Thank you to Brookfield Manor Vendor/Craft Boutique for choosing Robyne’s Nest as your charity!

The mental and emotional health benefits of petting and interacting with animals include decreasing anxiety, promoting relaxation, and elevating mood.

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.
