What It's Like Teaching Through a Youth Mental Health Crisis
Certainly, the priorities of youth advocacy in the fields of education, social services and ministry have changed over the last five years. It wasn’t just COVD, though the pandemic did reveal flaws in the systems surrounding young people. It’s never been enough to just help you people survive a crisis, we must also help them thrive—in the present and for the future. This article takes a deeper dive into making that possible.

Emotionally Intelligent People Use the Rule of Awkward Silence to Get the Most Out of Others
The first one who speaks in a meeting or group gathering is rarely the person who has given an issue the most thought—it is generally the person who is least comfortable with silence.

The recent New York murder of Jordan Neely, a homeless man on a subway car full of people, illustrates how far we are willing to justify over-protective responses to perceived threats. Choking someone to death for 15 minutes is not a reasonable response to non-aggressive hysteria, neither is shooting a child who has stolen candy. I appreciate articles like this that shed insight into the problem behind the problem.
