Taking care of our youth in times of stress & loss

The Sublette Prevention Coalition sends a great big shout out to Big Piney families and community for finding creative ways to honor loved ones in these difficult times.

Ways to support your kids’ wellbeing during times of stress and loss include:

  • Nurture strong, positive relationships with parents and guardians – help them feel secure and supported

  • Encourage connections to other non-parental adults

  • Closeness and sharing with caring friends – text, phone calls, safe in-person interactions

  • Nurture positive feelings of belonging in school

  • Encourage feelings of belonging to something bigger than themselves – community, culture, religion, sports team

  • Neighborhood safety

  • Awareness of and access to local health services that offer overall resilience.
