2/11/10 - Connectedness, A Fundamental Need of All Young People

Added: 4/6/2010

Teleconference Date:
February 11, 2010

Topics:
Connectedness, A Fundamental Need of All Young People

A teleconference focused on connectedness as a fundamental human need of all young people. Research shows that different forms of connectedness are prevalent and robust among youth, and needed for positive youth development and transition to adulthood. Presenters consider how different forms of connectedness play out in the lives of young people, demonstrating the need for and benefit of interdisciplinary connections across agencies to address specific elements of connectedness. Using examples from school connectedness initiatives in Minnesota, this teleconference explored the role of different state agencies and how one makes the case for connectedness through the lens of public health.
