Every Tuesday, 5pm-6.30pm

Come hang out with a community of teens who are experimenting with the smartest ways to feel good without the use of substances. We will explore the desires underneath substance use and addiction of all kinds and look for ways to get to the “real thing”. The class includes cutting-edge brain chemistry, herbs that are truly good for you, creative stress management, healthy alternatives, arts & crafts, non-judgmental dialogue, healthy rituals, AcuDetox/AcuWellness, and inspiration to examine your life. Anyone is welcome - whether you want to learn about mental health or examine your relationship with substances or whether you are just looking for support and a non-judgmental environment.

And stay for FREE AcuDetox/AcuWellness from 5.30-6.30pm

FREE Trauma & Mental Health Support

for our Boulder Community


 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are providing FREE cutting-edge trauma and mental health support for all teens and adults affected by the trauma in the Boulder Community. A trauma like the fires can trigger very intense trauma reactions and can cause severe mental health symptoms. These symptoms, like anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, trouble sleeping or concentrating, are all normal reactions to an intense trauma and can be helped with through community support, guided somatic practices, and AcuDetox. We want to provide all of these supports for all teens and adults who feel affected. Please reach out for support or please bring a friend who needs support. Let us all come closer as a community to get through this tragedy in a way that brings our community closer together, in love and care for each other.

Acudetox is a 5-neede acupuncture treatment to the ear that has been used in disasters to help people with trauma, mental health and resilience. It has been very effective in helping people prevent PTSD. It helps with symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, fears, sleep problems, intrusive images, and nightmares after a trauma. AcuDetox is used around the world immediately after disasters to help people find their strength and resilience again. More information & research on AcuDetox www.acudetox.com

Check out the Natural Highs Story:

What would it mean to have a positive community of young people who are committed to following their passions, exploring states of consciousness in healthy ways, and experiencing deep human connection in community?

Natural Highs Community is a program working to empower teens in Boulder, Colorado to address substance abuse and mental health issues that is an inspiring example of what works, and what youth really crave. Avani explains, “addiction isn’t just about stopping doing something. It’s also about finding organic and body-centered ways to feel naturally happy.”
