SUMMARY:Are Our Kids Really Alright? Addressing Loneliness\, Relationships & Youth Mental Health - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Our youth are connected to each other via social media\, and those relationships are meaningful and important. However\, youth spending time with peers\, in person\, is essential to their healthy development. Recently published research indicates youth are experiencing loneliness at higher levels now\, especially with the impact of COVID. Surveys conducted in 2020 found teenagers and young adults are lonelier than any other age group\, and a national survey found 4 out of 10 young people described themselves as feeling sad\, misunderstood suffering from FOMO and without anyone to talk to. Youth who are lonely may be as much as three times more likely to develop depression in the future\, and the impact of loneliness on mental health can last for years. Recently published research found a significant predictor of satisfying romantic relationships\, adult work competence and quality of life in adulthood was positive peer relationships in middle and high school. This workshop will review strategies and resources in the social-emotional development and healthy peer relationships among youth.  \nIf you wish to register for a webinar\, please contact Amy Nace at alnace@pmyf.org or call 717-367-1536\, ext. 2.

SUMMARY:Empathy & the Teenage Brain - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Do teens lack empathy for others? Is it possible to “teach” empathy to teens? One study promoted the theory that teens are incapable of taking the feelings of others into account because they are just incapable of doing so. Another study states that involvement in social media has decreased the levels of empathy among youth. The reality is the way the brain develops in adolescence affects empathy\, and there is a lot that can be done to develop empathy in teens. This workshop will:  \n\nLook at the development of cognitive and affective empathy during the teen years \nExamine empathy “inside” the brain \nAddress the barriers to empathy \nDiscuss the essential steps for building empathy in school communities \nReview resources in the development of empathy \n\nIf you wish to register for a webinar\, please contact Amy Nace at alnace@pmyf.org or call 717-367-1536\, ext. 2.
