For youth and the adults that support them, the past 18 plus months have been filled with constant change and ongoing uncertainty. These changes have come as a result of disconnect from a loss of people, places, activities, identities, rituals and/or routines that have grounded and stabilized one's day-to-day, pre-pandemic life. As 2021 comes to a close, it is clear that we will continue to confront the unknown and deal with uncertainty, which will challenge everyone’s sense of stability, predictability and concomitant feelings of efficacy and capacity to grow. This session will explore how and why helping youth and adults establish a rhythm is important and can provide an anchor for connection, self-care, empowerment, and agency going forward.
