The early adolescent years bring emotional, social, and bodily changes which can inspire curiosity or anxiety in some youth if they do not know what to expect, leading them to question what is "normal". Youth have questions about the onset of puberty, new emotions, increased need for privacy and independence, and about attraction and affection for others. These questions present opportunities to provide open, honest and reliable information to develop healthy boundaries, relationships, and communication.

This office hours session will introduce strategies and topics to support 5^th and 6^th graders in SRAE programming and provide an opportunity for grantees to share tips with one another. We will discuss ways to help youth develop healthy boundaries, relationships, and communication skills. We will also provide grantees with practical activities to integrate into their programs.

A video format will be used to personalize this session. Please use the Zoom telephone number (above) for audio and connect through the Zoom video link on your computer. If participants do not have access to a computer for video connection, feel free to join by telephone.

All grantees and sub-recipients are welcome to attend. In order to tailor this session to your needs, please submit questions using this form by December 2, 2022.

Join, share, and listen.
