As faith communities prepare to welcome families back for a new school year, many young people are carrying more than backpacks and school supplies. Increasingly, children and teens are experiencing loneliness and social isolation, which can affect their emotional well-being, confidence, academic success, and sense of belonging. This Lunch & Learn presented by Advocate/Aurora Faith & Health Partnerships will explore youth loneliness, social connection, and practical strategies faith communities can use to support children, youth, and families throughout the school year.
