The Hamster Wheel of Teen Life
June 10th 1-2 pm ET
Are the young people you work with feeling stuck in a monotonous daily routine and tired of wearing PJs all day? If they (and maybe you?!) are struggling to see beyond the lockdown, join us for this first, in a series of three-sessions. We will explore ways to help the young people we work with live in the present but still plan for an uncertain future, filled with unlimited purpose.
What to Do When Life Hurts
June 17th 1-2 pm ET
When Jacob wrestled with his angel, he exacted a blessing and was renamed. When Jonah ran away from God, he sat in the belly of the whale and learned from the darkness. Join us for this important session as we explore how we might help our young people to think through their faithful aches and learn how to find the meaning and messages they bring.
What Does it Mean to Be Enough?
June 24th 1-2 pm ET
In Pirket Avot, Ethics of the Fathers, we are taught to not just look at the container, but what is actually inside. In this session, we will consider some of the internalized negative core beliefs that interfere with young people’s abilities to see their positive attributes. We will explore ways in which we can best support our young people as they grow and develop.
