Why are we sharing all of this information about HPR? As ADAPT states in their post: "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿: High-quality social connection dramatically reduces risks of depression, anxiety, substance use, violence, and su***de, while significantly increasing resilience, academic success, and long-term well-being. It literally helps people live longer, and in health-promoting relationships, it helps cultivate protective beliefs in youth."

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿: High-quality social connection dramatically reduces risks of depression, anxiety, substance use, violence, and su***de, while significantly increasing resilience, academic success, and long-term well-being. It literally helps people live longer, and in health-promoting relationships, it helps cultivate protective beliefs in youth.

This week in the 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗛𝗣𝗥 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! campaign, we explore the second strategy in an HPR 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. We encourage you to seize the opportunity to assess and sharpen your ability to engage 16 facilitators of connection (see image below) in your moments with youth.

Casual check-ins, quick instructions, or distracted conversations do not build the protective beliefs youth need to thrive. Meaningful connection (the kind that helps youth feel seen, valued, understood, and supported) is a 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 skill, not a 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵 one. It takes consistent work, but the dividends for youth well-being (and our own!) are profoundly worth it.

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲:
1. Which of these facilitators of connection do you already bring naturally into your relationships with youth?
2. Which do you immediately recognize as needing some attention?
3. Pick the one that stands out to you the most and commit to developing it more intentionally this week.

More details on this week's content along with self-assessments for trusted adults and youth will come out in Wednesday’s email.

What type of environment are you providing for the kids in your life?

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲?

What is the environment communicating to them, day after day, about their worth, their potential, and their abilities?

In week 5 of the 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗛𝗣𝗥 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! campaign we explore the first of the four HPR 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 strategies, which is foundational to the others: 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Through the physical spaces we design, the emotional climate we set, and the cultural environment (shared values, norms, and standards) we intentionally shape, trusted adults influence youth development in profound, often unspoken ways (including role modeling!).

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲:
1. Is it evident that youth matter in the physical environment?
2. Is the emotional tone I create when I’m in this space one of warmth, safety, & encouragement?
3. Does the culture I am shaping promote respect, voice, growth, support, and consistency?

More detailed guidance on how you can create a positive environment in your HPR 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 will be released in Wednesday’s campaign email along with a self-assessment tool for trusted adults and youth activity.
