Today's #TuesdayTeenTips is all for you parents/guardians our there. In this crazy season of isolation, connecting with others is more important than ever! You are not alone, but we are feeling very alone these days. So break the cycle - reach out to someone - connect in some way. "Feeling connected feels good. So, whether it’s laughing with a friend over FaceTime, exchanging texts with that mom or dad you met at the PTO meeting, or swapping stories with your exercise c...lassmates, social connection binds us together in a common experience. And, it can improve our sense of parenting happiness." https://parentandteen.com/connected-parenting/ #TuesdayTeenTips #LIFTringgold #LIFTyouthcenter

Mamas and teens like these - they are a big part of the WHY! They are: WHY we work hard daily to get our doors open WHY we are developing programming ...

WE ARE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE... LIFT Youth Center Inc was awarded a $3,000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. We will use this grant in a partnership with the Catoosa County Library to create a LIFT Library for student use and have hours with staff when we offer general assistance, homework help, book clubs, research assistance and tech support. We expect to see outcomes reflecting higher grade and reading levels. In addition to general access, the Catoosa Co...unty Library plans to have some staff involvement at the Center and they are excited to use LIFT as an extension of the work they are currently doing at their own facility so that more students can see improvements in their literacy. We are thankful for the support and partnership that will enhance the Claudia Nance Rollins Youth Center, making it a place where curiosity and inspiration are possible through literature! #dollargeneralliteracyfoundation #catoosacountylibrary #LIFTringgold #LIFTyouthcenter #AreYouIn

Great event happening this evening with the Catoosa County Library We love our community and how they are coming together to create this DRIVE-THRU TRUNK OR TREAT!

At the Claudia Nance Rollins Youth Center, LIFT will pull from the 7 Cs of Resilience Model to aid teens in the development of life skills so that when life inevitably gets hard they will know how to navigate themselves. The 7 Cs include Confidence, Competence, Connection, Character, Contribution, Coping, and Control. Here is a great article of developing competence in teens! Competence is part of a comprehensive strategy to successfully develop youth and build resilience ...within them. https://parentandteen.com/developing-competence-in-teens-/ #TuesdayTeenTips #LIFTyouthcenter #LIFTringgold #AreYouIn

Please take a few minutes today and listen to Millie Cheek share her son's story. Robbie's story is one that sadly is more common that you might think, and LIFT wants to change that reality. We wish to catch teens before they head down a hurtful path, walking with them toward their healthiest future. Millie, thank you for allowing us to share this, for standing with us in this work, and for inspiring others through your experience. "There is such opportunity here to catch ...those kids BEFORE they loose their identity, before they go through that traumatic situation that happens in life." - Millie Cheek Thank you to Drew Sherrill at Sherrill Creative Company for your time, skill, and efforts with the production of this video. #ShareRobbiesStory #LIFTringgold #LIFTyouthcenter #AreYouIn
