Building Teen Resilience: The Power of Supportive Adults Webinar
Youth Studies Student Naya Bhagwandin helped design this webinar during her internship with the Health Partners Teen Council. Congratulations, Naya!
Join us for an energizing and thought-provoking event exploring how intentional adult support can make all the difference in helping teens grow, thrive, and lead. This event is hosted by the HealthPartners Teen Leadership Council (TLC), a dynamic group of teen leaders working to improve health and wellbeing in their schools and communities. Hear directly from teens as they reflect on the program’s impact and offer honest insights into what young people need most from the adults in their lives.
We are excited to feature keynote speaker Gaelin Elmore, a dynamic trainer, thought leader and national speaker. He works with people to become belonging informed in order to help youth overcome trauma and unleash their potential. Gaelin will share his powerful personal story and speak to the transformational importance of belonging, encouraging every adult to be the difference for teens.

The University of Minnesota campuses were built on the traditional homelands of the Dakota and Ojibwe, and scores of other Indigenous peoples who have walked on these lands from time immemorial. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
