Not Lost, Just Disconnected

We long to return to normal, but **normal led to this**. To avert the future pandemics we know are coming, we MUST grapple with all the ways normal failed us. We have to build something better.

~Ed Yong, The Atlantic

Here’s the thing: The pandemic changed everything. Our social, economic, and political realities were transformed. Unfortunately, our institutions didn’t get the memo. Instead of seeing COVID as an opportunity to do things differently and take time for collective healing, we plunged right back into pre-pandemic practices at the cost of our mental health and overall well being, our youth being the hardest hit. In this workshop, we will reimagine our programs for the new reality and explore strategies for re-engaging young people who have become disconnected from much needed supports.
