Parenting Kids in Turbulent Times: Conversations That Build Connection, Courage, and Well‑Being
Utah families are raising children in a moment marked by rapid change, heightened stress, and an overwhelming flow of information. Youth today are navigating rising mental‑health concerns, the relentless influence of social media, and the emotional impact of community challenges and national events that reach them instantly. Many parents want to talk with their children about these realities but feel unsure where to begin, how much to share, or how to support their kids without increasing fear or anxiety. This fall webinar brings together three leading Utah experts who work at the intersection of parenting, trauma, youth development, mental health, and family resilience. Together, they will offer research‑informed guidance and practical tools for navigating difficult conversations and strengthening emotional safety at home.
