I Matter for Teens Journals

Empowering Youth Through Reflection, Identity & Emotional Wellness

​

The I Matter for Teens Journal is a trauma-informed, interactive tool designed to help teens explore who they are, how they feel, and how they heal. Created by Nehi Cares founder Juanita Banks-Whittington, this guided journal supports mental health, emotional intelligence, and self-worth—one page at a time.

​

Whether used in a classroom, small group, or one-on-one, this journal meets teens where they are and gives them space to grow, reflect, and reclaim their voice.

This book is so much more and better than a simple journal. I love the writing prompts, and how they encourage our young girls to really look at themselves - in a positive way- and consider what makes them unique, special, and important! A definite confidence booster, and a great tool for introspection and growth. I highly recommend that you get this for the young lady in your life - or its companion book for teen boys, for the young men in your life.
