Listening is one of the most powerful tools we have to support children and youth. As leaders, educators, parents, and caring adults, each of us can create connections that truly make a difference. Developing trust by nurturing meaningful connections is one of the most effective ways to help the next generation envision bold and resilient futures for themselves. 🌟 Take time to listen, build trust, and #HelpKidsRise. 💛 💬: Spencer Becker

Social media often shows the highlights, not the full story. If your child is struggling and turning to substances like drugs or alcohol to cope, remember, they don’t have to face it alone. Support starts with a conversation, and help is always within reach. Explore resources from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: https://bit.ly/4m6YOZx
