Supporting Young People Through Change

The last month has been a challenging time, to say the least. It feels like it was a hundred years ago that we could high five youth in an afterschool program, get a haircut, or buy toilet paper whenever we wanted. No doubt you have experienced feelings of confusion, grief, disappointment, and loss over the past month. We know that it is the same for the young people that we educate. Indeed, our world as changed.

As a leading youth development organization in the state, Nebraska 4-H Youth Development is offering a series of articles addressing the social-emotional well-being of young people. The articles are designed to help youth development professionals and parents in this challenging time. The series, Supporting Young People Through Change, will include five articles:

• Comfort in a Changing World
• Connecting in Changing Times
• Coping in Changing Times
• Creating Your Plan in Changing Times
• Contributing in a Changing World

Articles will be released weekly throughout April and early May. Visit the link below to access all the available articles, and stay tuned for new releases.
