Theme: What does a supportive relationship look like between an adult and a teen?
Parents and caring adults play a critical role particularly during the transition from adolescence into adulthood. We would like to hear your insights, voices, and perspectives regarding the relationship between a caring adult and a teen.
Findings will be used to inform approaches to promote effective support from adults to empower teens to make informed decisions about their relationships, health, and well-being.
The contest is open to everyone to share original submissions surrounding the above theme to address the following goals:
- Guide teens to identify a caring adult for support when facing challenging situations or difficult decisions.
- Support teens to build and foster trusting and supportive relationships with caring adults.
- Create a safe space to empower teens to communicate with a caring adult for support to prevent and act against bullying, harassment, and violence.
