Cultivating Growth Mindset With Adolescents, Daisy D. Yang
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
Some teens may believe that intelligence and other traits are fixed and unchangeable. As a result of having these fixed perspectives, adolescents may not be motivated to achieve academically and may give up in the face of challenge. Instead, teens can increase their confidence levels and motivation and adopt a growth mindset for their well-being. In order to address this issue, I created a two-day lesson for highschoolers at Rio Linda High School in Sacramento, California.

Support Group Outcomes For Hispanic/Latinx Youth In San Benito County, Melina M. Perez
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
Relatively few studies have examined the process of social/cultural detachment in Hispanic/Latinx youth in the United States. The present project adopted an ecological approach to this issue, focusing on mezzo- and macro-level support system development, apart from micro-level character and self-esteem development.

The Wellness Center at Harden Middle School opened in the Fall of 2019 and is new for students, parents, and faculty.

Social Media: Impact On Adolescents, Mary Breen
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
It is likely that adolescents are not aware of the impact of social media on their self-esteem and overall well-being. Adolescents, between the ages of 12 and 17, increase their usage of social media (Cookingham & Ryan, 2015). Adolescents indicate that social media is important to maintain constant contact with their friends and peers. However, social media can have both positive and negative impacts on adolescents’ mood and other mental health outcomes (Wood, Bukowski & Lis, 2016).
