Do you have a teen in your life that looks to you for support or guidance? Are you a parent, uncle, teacher or other adult that works closely to teenagers? Talking with teens may not always be easy, but studies show that having a connection with one caring adult can make all the difference in a young person's future. The more resources you have to help communicate, the more prepared and comfortable you both are for the highs and lows of adolescence. The Connect with Me cards are a great tool to strengthen the connections and help start meaningful conversations between youth and adults.
