Welcome! & 9/30 Youth Chat Recap

Thank you for visiting the SPAN Youth Hub. Here we will post a recap of the weekly SPAN youth chat that includes the highlights of the discussion and resources. And, feel free to connect with us through the youth-recommended comments section or email for contributions that could be featured on the blog. 

On our last youth chat, Wed., 9/30, we shared the first look of the blog's layout and theme. A visually appealing background with yellow, green, and blue color tones, as you can see! Other notable inclusions are the "Report Abuse" button, found in the sidebar menu (upper right on PC and mobile).  Use this feature to report any inappropriate and offensive material to alert the authors of the SPAN Youth Hub for removal. We strive for a safe, and positive space here in the Hub. And, you can find links to the SPAN weekly youth chat, YouTube channel, and website in the sidebar. 

This wraps up the first recap. Join us for new posts every Thursday! Want to join us for the youth chat as well? Register now in the link below.

Stronger Together: Finding Strength in Shared Journeys, featuring Growing Up Online

There’s something really special about talking to someone who has gone through the same things you have. They understand in a way that others might not, because they’ve lived it too. When people with similar life experiences support each other, it can make a big difference. It helps you feel less alone, gives you hope, and often brings helpful advice that comes from real experience. Whether it’s dealing with a disability, mental health, or big life changes, support from someone who “gets it” can truly change your life.
