Dealing with Uncertainty: Why Reaching out to Young People Is So Important

Dealing with Uncertainty: Why Reaching out to Young People Is So Important

Reaching out to young people is especially critical at this time. With
mounting psycho-social stress attributed to an increasingly uncertain
future, young people are going to need support grappling with the social
effects of so many convergent crises.

The world is rife with
uncertainty about our fate on the planet. Declining ecosystems and
biodiversity, a quickly destabilizing climate and an end to the cheap
energy we're currently addicted to leaves a lot to question. With all
this going on, I think it's more important than ever to have elders that
can guide young people through this initiation into adulthood - towards
fully realizing the world with eyes wide open.
