Youth Development Feature Writer: Susan Carney

Are you often overwhelmed by the issues kids are facing today? If so, you've come to the right place! This is the spot for information and ideas about promoting positive development in young people.

We'll talk about teen issues such as internet safety, tobacco prevention, and body image, and discuss building skills such as anger management and refusal strategies. Most importantly, we will focus on empowering kids and helping them develop the leadership skills that will allow them to advocate for themselves and others.

We'll also talk about how youth workers can strengthen their relationships with kids and be more powerful role models.
