Dealing with Change ft. Upcoming Events

Change is normal but not always easy. We all love to be comfortable, but change isn't about being comfortable. It is a chance to grow for better or worse. Youth and young adults learn these lessons in different ways. Youth see changes in work, school, or other social parts of their lives. 

There are many videos out there that speak on change, but check out 'Dealing with Change' linked under resources. Features tips like slowing down, managing your time, and your responsibilities to avoid stress. This video was short but honest and well-received by the youth, and we'll be sure to show off similar videos in the future. 

The youth in the SPAN youth chat had plenty to share on recent changes. Such as graduating high school in June, a great achievement. A big change, but he's looking forward to after high school.  A young adult in the chat explained about his recent change in weight and with a positive outlook is exercising. Youth and young adults can learn with time how to see change as a natural process. 

A wonderful part of this new virtual world is that many youths and young adult workshops are being brought straight to your digital screen. Don't miss out and check out some of the awesome ones upcoming: 

The Virtual Teen Conference by the Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan New Jersey (PPMNJ)

"Youth are at the forefront of countless progressive movements aimed at creating better futures for themselves and their communities. We are focusing on providing education, resources, and tools to empower high school students to become young activists. This half-day conference will provide teens with the opportunity to learn about what social and health justice issues impact them and how they can be a part of a positive change."
