A new video called “The Crisis of Connection for Adolescent Boys” underscores that adolescent boys want and need close, supportive friendships and provides guidance to professionals and family members on how to foster those relationships.The video features NYU Professor Niobe Way, who has studied adolescents’ social development for over 30 years. She shares what young men say about increasing isolation as they move from childhood to adolescence and how social connections affect health and well-being. In this video Way encourages adults to rethink assumptions and provides strategies to encourage the friendships that help adolescent boys thrive. This is the first in a "TAG Talks" video series created as part of the Adolescent Health: Think, Act, Grow® (TAG) call to action from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Adolescent Health (OAH). The video series is co-sponsored by OAH and the federal Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs. All videos in the free series are presented in short segments and accompanied by discussion guides for professionals and family members, citations, and additional resources. You can find the video and supplemental materials on the OAH website.
