Youth are dealing with a lot. Hormonal changes. Body changes. Mental changes. Reduced emotional capacity. Coming in to their own while still needing a ton of support. Not to mention the political climate they may be living in, the discrimination they may be experiencing, peer pressure, concerns for the future, and so on. Our youth are carrying a lot. And adults can feel stuck to know how to reach out, and where to begin.
If you’re looking for conversation starters We Have Kids has 215 ideas for you. If you’re looking to really hone your conversational skills with this demographic (better yet, your listening skills,) then you could also join our next virtual Mental Health First Aid Supporting Youth program. This is a certified, virtual workshop where we’ll work hard to put our selves in the shoes of our youth, and learn how to support them both through conversation, as well as getting them connected to other resources.
