Bob Anthony has created an adolescent wellness program to help teens find emotional balance, and to prevent teen suicides.

The program was developed in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Wellesley, Massachusetts, and three local hospitals.

See http://adolescentwellness.org
For programs and exercises for younger children, see http://wellness.whyville.net

To find a Rotary Club in your area, please see http://rotary.org and look on the top line menu for “Club Finder”.

The 4-way Test mentioned during the program is as follows:
For everything you think or say or do, ask yourself these four questions:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to All Concerned?
3. Will it Build GOODWILL and Better Friendships?
4. Will it Be BENEFICIAL to All Concerned?

Update 2018: This program has been very successful, and is being implemented in many places in Massachusetts and in the world.  To watch a two-minute video about the project, click here.
