Supporting Youth After the Election

Whether you've been having conversations with young people through the entire election or are just starting now, make sure to give space for their thoughts, questions and feelings in the aftermath. This has been a difficult and stressful time for many of us and it's okay to show youth that you're processing it all as well.

To help with this process, MENTOR developed a great resource to help guide conversations: Talking to Young People After the Presidential Election.

Remember that these conversations will not always be easy and will rarely be perfect. It's still important to keep the lines of communication open with the young people in your life.  Taking time to embrace openness, care and honesty will only strengthen your relationship.
