This presentation is a detailed, analytical, evidence-based investigation into how young people around the world are reaching out to their peers in both wholesome and self-destructive ways, fulfilling their most profound social-emotional need: contact, affirmation, reassurance, and validation.

We will delve into a great number of the factors involved in this phenomenon, and attendees will be given insights, tools, information, tactics, and recommendations from a wide gamut of professionals on how to deal with such a gargantuan and global issue.
