but it's hard to be a young person right now.Young people are remarkable, From navigating anxiety and maintaining healthy relationships to resisting the pressures of social media and managing stress, growing up is more challenging than ever. That means it's also really hard to be a parent right now. As adults, one of our main goals is to help set our kids up for success, today and for the rest of their lives. Because it's often so challenging to see — really see — when the young people in we need them to tell us our lives are struggling, when they are, so we can support prepared to LISTEN them in the ways they need. They will talk if they believe we are and understand. SpeakUp!, a nonprofit in your backyard, helps young people and adults gain the skills and confidence needed to have courageous conversations about the challenges kids face today from stress, mental health, drugs and alcohol to depression, anxiety, suicide, relationships, social media and more.
