SELF-ESTEEM IS A VERB, NOT A NOUN
At Teenacers, our mission is to develop teachers, coach grown-ups, and teach teens the mindset alignment practices that empower individuals, families, and teams to communicate, lead, and solve interesting problems better together. Teachers, teens, and grown-ups will learn the language tools for meaningful communication, the mindset practices that enable them to feel grounded, and the mindfulness and awareness to go through adolescence conscious, awake, and supported.
Teenacers creates meaning in the adolescent experience. It creates a container that holds the challenges that individuals face during this time of transitioning into adulthood. Teenacers also works with young adults in supporting them through major and challenging transitions in their life, while the other aspect of coaching teachers serves as mentorship and professional development for beginning teachers.
(Yanna) Joanne Papadopoulos coaches teachers, teens, and grown-ups and has been featured in Authority Magazine and Thrive Global. Yanna has been a teacher for the public board in Calgary for 16 years. She is a college instructor, a professional development workshop facilitator for educators, the Vice president of Seeds Connections Organization Leadership Program, and founder and owner of Teenacers. Yanna holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts, a Bachelors of Education, and a Masters in Educational Leadership from Gonzaga University.
APPROACH
Motivation is an action, not a feeling; self-esteem is a verb, not a noun.
Teenacers is designed to work inside a coaching model based on the Indigenous Ways of Knowing that addresses the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of life. Its focus is on leadership, mindset, and self-esteem, and offers strategies rooted in changing the language we use in order to shift our perspectives and the way we communicate with each other.

My child experienced great difficulty transitioning from junior to senior high. At the same time, they were also diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. During this dark time an extraordinary teacher named Ms. P. (Yanna) appeared in my child's life.
