Hi, I'm Ellen and I'll be bringing you weekly videos to help prepare you for the thing we all have to do some day...adult. My hope is this eases the process for you and we can cover topics that are interesting and are helpful! This video is just an intro to what I'm going to be bringing you.

HYDE's (Helping Youth Develop & Empower) Quarantine Chronicles
HYDE (Helping Youth Develop & Empower), a program of the St. Lawrence Health Initiative, Inc., is offering a variety of activities for teens to partake in during this uncertain time. This is a fun, interactive way to stay busy between school work and any chores teens may be given, as well as avoiding boredom. Ellen Hurlbut, is the youth development specialist in charge of programming for youth ages 14-18. Monday through Friday is filled with social media posts and videos focusing on being mindful and well, while having some fun. Below is information and links about each opportunity that is available to high school youth in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence Counties.

Instructions for Students and Families:
All staff and students will be expected to use Seesaw (a web based platform) to stay connected and to work on their academics. (www.seesaw.com)
Teachers will assign tasks to students on a daily basis.
We will be following a school-wide schedule for assigning tasks. Hopefully this will make things easier for families with children in different grade levels. (For schedule read the Family Newsletter from Principal Gray)
Our goals during this time are to connect with our students and review skills previously taught. If the school closure does not end as predicted we will look to introduce new instruction later on. For now, your child will be practicing what they know so their minds can stay sharp. What you don't practice, you lose!
We are doing our best to be mindful of screentime. Please consider your child's school work as part of their allotted screentime. We DO NOT want students on devices more than necessary.
Please play outside. Go for a walk. Have relay races. Draw. Paint. Play a board game. PLEASE be mindful of how much time is spent on electronics. Too much time is not good for their developing brains. Video games do not grow brain cells like reading books, play, and movement do!
LGBTQ+ CRISIS RESOURCES
LGBTQ+ CRISIS RESOURCES
It is critical to make clear to all students—and particularly those who may be more vulnerable such as those who belong to the LGBTQ+ community—that they matter. Often, one caring adult who can provide trusted reassurance is enough. But when it’s not, it is important they know how to get additional help. If needed, The Trevor Project will contact and dispatch emergency services using routing technology to locate the person in danger.

NATIONAL RESOURCES
NATIONAL RESOURCES
We are fortunate to live in a time in which we can connect virtually. Virtual resources can be a source of support, especially for closeted youth. There are organizations that assist parents in supporting LGBTQ+ youth and, alternatively, organizations which can temporarily provide ‘parental’ affirmation when such is lacking.
Ally Parents – standwithtrans.org/ally-parents
Ally parents are parents of trans* and nonbinary youth across the country who volunteer their time to support young people who may lack or not yet have parental support. Youth can text or call ally parents by location across the country.
PFLAG – pflag.org
Sometimes the best support is the love of one’s own family. PFLAG helps family members come to understand and accept one’s gender identity and/or sexuality.
GLBT National Resource Database - GLBTNearMe.org
Directory of more than 15,000 LGBTQ+ resources across the country for support, medical assistance, housing, food, shelter, and more.
LGBT National Help Center – glbthotline.org
Free and confidential peer support and local resources.
CHAT ROOMS SUPPORTING LGBTQ+ YOUTH
CHAT ROOMS SUPPORTING LGBTQ+ YOUTH
Sometimes the best support is the ability to talk to others who understand and don’t question one’s identity and/or orientation. We know from crisis intervention research that reconnecting with peers is essential.
Gender Spectrum Lounge – genderspectrum.org/lounge
This is a space for teens, parents, and professionals to connect with one another and have conversations about gender outside of the boxes.
