From Loneliness to Connection and Belonging: "I'll be there..."

The Children, Youth and Families (CYF) Council Training Academy Committee Presents

'From Loneliness to Connecting and Belonging: I'll Be There"

A Virtual Event 

No Cost Training- Includes 4 CE's 

We gather with a shared commitment to delve into one of the most pressing issues facing our young people – loneliness. As we convene in this space of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, we recognize the profound impact loneliness can have on the well-being and development of children and adolescents.

Loneliness knows no bounds, affecting individuals from all walks of life, regardless of background or circumstance. Yet, for our children and youth, its implications are particularly poignant. In an era characterized by rapid technological advancement and shifting societal norms, our young ones are grappling with unprecedented challenges to their sense of belonging and connection.

This training serves as a beacon of hope, illuminating the pathways towards understanding, empathy, and actionable solutions. Together, we will explore the multifaceted nature of loneliness in children and youth – from its root causes to its far-reaching consequences on mental health, academic performance, and social integration.

Our agenda is one of inclusivity and collaboration, bringing together a diverse array of perspectives. Through insightful keynote addresses, and thought-provoking panel discussions, we aim to foster a dialogue that transcends boundaries and inspires tangible change.

As we embark on this journey together, let us recommit ourselves to the well-being of our younger generations. Let us harness the power of collective action to create environments where every child and adolescent feels seen, heard, and valued. For in our shared pursuit of a more connected and compassionate world, lies the promise of a brighter future for generations to come.

Thank you for joining us in this vital endeavor. Together, we can turn the tide against loneliness and build a world where every child and youth thrives.
