My areas of expertise have been to work with children, adolescents, and families. Most recently, many children and teens had to quickly adjust to E-learning and adjust their daily routines in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
During this time, I have been engaging in active listening to support children, teens, and families. Through this experience, I have met people who have been quite resilient because they used their protective factors to meet and exceed their expectations. A teen who I will call “Nathan” shared his wisdom in an interview. The purpose of this interview is to empower youth to proactively use their protective factors to maintain socially, emotionally, and mentally healthy.
