SUMMARY:Mental Health Challenges for Children & Youth Facing Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:“How can we expect the next generation of adults to be prepared to inherit our communities if youth today are going hungry and do not have a place to call home? Where did the empathy for our children and their families go?” \nDuring the ’22 – ’23 school year in Pennsylvania\, there were an estimated 46\,000 children considered unhoused\, and over 1\,000 of those children are located here in the Lehigh Valley. These figures represent the highest number ever recorded in Pennsylvania! \nSecure sources of shelter\, food\, water\, and rest are necessary for the healthy growth and development of any child. Lacking in any of these areas can cause developmental delays and trauma to their young\, developing minds\, and in the lives of teens. Saturday\, November 15th\, from 8:30 am-11:30 am\, join the Lehigh Conference of Churches at First Presbyterian Church in Bethlehem as we host local and state experts to empower ourselves to make a difference in the lives of those 1\,000 children. \nThis event will feature a panel discussion featuring representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services\, local school districts\, Valley Youth House\, and resource tables to equip you with the knowledge to secure the future of the Lehigh Valley!
