Teens can learn about self-care through a special program series at area libraries, including the Riverbank branch.

Local teen Avni Parmar will lead a health and wellness program designed exclusively for teens at three Stanislaus County community libraries this month. This program series will cover the topic of self-care at the Ceres, Riverbank, and Nick W. Blom Salida Regional Libraries. Parmar will lead participants through an assessment on self-care. Following the assessment, teens will learn about activities that promote self-care.
