Supporting the Social Emotional Needs of Youth

September 7 | 11 - 12:30 pm

While everyone is eager to get “back to normal”, the social emotional needs of our youth tells us we must recalibrate our expectations. In this presentation, we will discuss the key social emotional impacts of the public health pandemic and social cultural epidemic we’ve all been experiencing and witnessing. Concrete strategies to foster resilience and help our youth thrive in the current climate will be presented. Following the presentation, participants will engage in an interactive learning opportunity to put skills into immediate practice in their work with youth. This online event from the Yale Divinity School Youth Ministry Institute is available for free at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-storm-isnt-over-ways-to-support-the-social-emotional-needs-of-youth-tickets-366793117087.
