Emotions at Play with Pixar’s Inside Out,
the first interactive exhibit based on the award-winning film, helps visitors – young and old – understand the important role emotions, memory and imagination play in our everyday lives. Focusing on the five core emotions featured in Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out – Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear – hands-on and digital experiences in the exhibit offer opportunities to explore some of the ways we express our emotions – and recognize emotions in others, too. Learn more about the exhibit and plan your visit at

Teen Line Hotline
The Teen Line hotline provides a safe, non-judgmental space for youth to talk about their worries with someone their age who 'gets it'. The hotline is staffed by highly trained teens and supervised by mental health professionals and is OPEN from 6-9PM every evening. Text 'TEEN' to 839863 or email our hotline. We also offer message boards for teens to talk to other teens, including anxiety around the Covid-19 virus, as well as tips for coping skills from teens on all of our social media platforms (Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, etc)
We also provide support resources for parents on our website at www.teenlineonline.org. We recently hosted a Facebook Live event for parents on Teen Line's Facebook page (@teenlineonline) to learn how they can support and help their kids navigate this difficult time.
