Details:
They know that when a young person has trusted adults in their life who can support them, it increases their likelihood that they will experience academic success, achieve and maintain financial stability, and make choices that support their overall health and well-being. A consistent and supportive family presence can especially make a difference for a young person during times of transition. They recognize that the terms “family” and “caregivers” are broadly defined as the people who support and care for their young people.
By increasing the supports that they know help young people navigate early adulthood – like strong social connections and concrete support from close relationships in times of need – and reducing risk factors like stress, young people and parents/caregivers can navigate their changing relationships in a positive way.
