Askable Adult Campaign
Think of a time when you felt listened to. When someone allowed you space to wonder and figure things out and offered support when you needed it. Think of a person who accepts you for who you are without judgment. For children and youth, when these core elements are embedded in consistent connections with caring adults, it really makes a difference.

Course Description
The single most common factor for children who develop resilience to stress and adversity is having at least one stable relationship with a supportive parent, caregiver, or another adult (Harvard Center for the Developing Child). This is especially critical for young people working to develop a positive sense of self in a culture that often devalues them based on their identity, ability, background, or status.
​
Participants will build the skills necessary to be an informed, approachable adult to whom young people can turn for help in navigating stress and challenges on a day-to-day basis.
