In 2016, Britain's Lancet reported adolescents' sexual choices as the fastest growing area of risk, & in 2021 UNICEF reported suicide as the 1st leading cause of death in young people in Eastern Europe & Central Asia, & the 2nd leading cause in Western Europe
& North America.
The territory adolescents are navigating is unprecedented.
•Social Media & devises can be more addictive than cocaine
•Polarities are increasingly extreme
•Fabricated Truths & Questionable Agendas proliferate
•Algorithms & the Media tell us what we need & that we always need more
•Climate Anxiety amongst young people is prevalent across the globe
•Parental neglect - not giving children the attention, social interaction, & emotional support they need to thrive - is at all time highs
•Cultures of Non-Personal Communication, Opinionated & False Information, Online Pornography, Social Pressure, Targeted Rejection, Bullying, Objectified Sex, Violence, Drugs, & Heavy Drinking are normalized & sharply on the rise
With effective solutions slow in coming, young people are ushered into our increasingly loud & corrosive world without a compass.
In the ever-changing landscape, no amount of rules, laws, or vigilance can ensure what we want most for them; that they're inspired, healthy, & safe.
Focused on building a foundation of inner worth, inner knowing & inner trust, ALL MANNER OF THINGS points the way for young people to form & establish an indispensable, always accessible connection to themselves.
With the chance to discover who they are & how to stay true to that, they have the opportunity to emerge from the prevailing confusion, and flourish.
