PUEBLO, Colo. — A therapy group in Pueblo wants to help teenagers with their mental health issues. A New Leaf Therapy received a $25,000 grant from the Pueblo Health Department.

The money is being used to help teenagers from 13 to 18 years old with free therapy sessions. This includes the following:

  • horse therapy
  • trauma recovery
  • anxiety group

"Kids are struggling," said Regan Young with A New Leaf Therapy. "I think today there's a lot to navigate in the world. We've seen really big increases in rates of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD. So, I think that kids need this kind of support and help."
