Hi there,
My name is Hayley, and I’m a teenager who created Connex-Within as a safe space for other teens to express emotions through creativity.
I’m not a therapist or a professional, just someone who understands how important it is to have a place to let things out and feel seen. This site isn’t here to give professional advice — it's simply a space to connect within yourself and maybe with others who feel the same way.
If you're going through something really heavy or need immediate help, please don’t go through it alone. Talk to someone you trust, and don’t be afraid to reach out to professionals who are trained to help.
