Adolescence is simply defined as the transition from childhood to adulthood. With an increasing concern on perpetual adolescence (see Ben Sasse piece from the Wall Street Journal), this series looks to understand the growth and change occurring during this developmental phase, prepare adults to better interact with and support adolescents, and hear from vital local organizations working to equip children, adolescents, and young adults for engaging, productive, and fulfilling lives.
