Minnesota communities are working to reduce youth access to flavored products.

There is mounting evidence that asking students about their wellbeing and their strengths in dealing with their emotions and relationships, in addition to their psychological distress and functioning, has several benefits:

• Reduces stigma around asking youth about mental health within the school setting

• Enhances students’ sense of empowerment and self-esteem

• As only about 20% of students experience clinical levels of mental health challenges within a given year, asking students about their wellbeing provides valuable information about all students

• Strengths-based approaches have been shown to be more acceptable to youth and families across cultural groups due to varying perspectives on mental health

• Research suggests that students who are experiencing average to high levels of wellbeing also experience better current and long-term outcomes, including academic success, than students who report low levels of wellbeing
