Episode 42 May 15, 2024 - Youth Strong: Helping Youth and Families in Times of Disaster and Stress

Charles Stamper, Ed.D., Extension Special Projects Coordinator

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI, 2022), one in six US adolescents experience a major depressive episode (MDE) each year and almost four million young adults have had serious thoughts of suicide. These statistics coupled with the devastation of natural disasters in Kentucky in less than two years raised concern on how to meet youth where they are and begin to build capacity around the support provided during times of stress and disaster. Kentucky 4-H engaged in a partnership with 7Dippity, Inc. to survey the needs of our state related to copy and resiliency. The resource Youth Strong: Helping Youth and Families in Times of Disaster and Stress was developed to provide an easily implemented youth-adult resource to encourage ways to cope and move forward during potentially traumatic times. Help us drive this initiative forward by attending the Wednesday Webinar where we will give you more details, share the resource, and supplemental training opportunities for you to receive the resource to disseminate to the communities you work in.
