Childhood and adolescence are critically important periods in the lifespan – vast transitional changes in the young person’s mind, brain and body set the paths for life-long socio-emotional well-being. It is in this period of life when a young person learns to build relationships, understand consequences, reflect on situations, develop problem solving skills, experience and gain control over emotions, and consolidate a sense of self and aspiration, paving the way towards autonomy in adulthood while at the same time the external world keeps challenging our younger ones with many different kinds of stressors from family, peer and society. Our young people need our support and guidance to help them gain a sense of self-understanding and perspectives of the outside world.
