Home "If you gave each change a stress number, many teens would be off the chart. In fact, stress levels related to so many things changing is higher for youth than any generation of adults today." - from Soul Searching The Millenial Generation by Overholt and PennerIn this strategic time, where ambiguity is a given and stress levels are high, responsible adults have a pivotal, live-expanding role to play. "What's the toughest thing about being a teenager today?... It's fear... just being scared of everything." Derek, 16 year old For the first time in history, teens are less healthy and less prepared to take their places in society than were their parents. And this is happening at a time when our society is more complex, more challenging, and more competitive than before. These are not problems that will be solved with money or clinics or medicine. It has deeper roots in hearts and souls. Calvin and Elisa Williams have committed their lives to address these issues in youth. |
