Young people have been impacted by COVID-19 in ways that are unique to their age group. With schools going virtual and reduced access to the connections that support their social-emotional learning, many young people are struggling and we are seeing teen suicide rates increase around the region. Many of these are exacerbated for youth in foster care and those who are aging out of the system. We will hear from experts on how cities and regions in the Northwest have responded to the crises and continue to support their most vulnerable communities.
