Recent CDC findings suggest that youth connectedness also has lasting effects.
Youth who feel connected at school and at home were found to be as much as 66% less likely to experience health risk behaviors related to sexual health, substance use, violence, and mental health in adulthood.
Connectedness refers to a sense of being cared for, supported, and belonging, and can be centered on feeling connected to school, family (i.e. parents and caregivers), or other important people and organizations in their lives.
Parents and caregivers you matter in the life of your child even during their teen years. Make sure you stay connected, their future depends on it.
