IHEYO

Dear Readers of the YouthSpeak,

November seems to be the month of challenges. America stands in front of a new decade with the Presidental elections, IHEYO has to close down its communication office for hopefully just two months as it is lacking financial support for the officers and also IHEYO is facing some problems with its intern server. So hopefully this will be solved in the next days to send out the YouthSpeak via e-newslist.

Otherwise we hope to guide you carefully through the cold getting season to wake up your brain, to keep you informed and to open your eyes for other beautiful or new things.

With regards from the office,

Silvana Uhlrich, Communication officer IHEYO.   

Themes of the YouthSpeak

(1) Project of the month - Adolescent Girls Workshop

Many serious diseases in adulthood have their roots in adolescence.  Adolescence is a time of many transitions both for teens and their families. To ensure that teens and adults navigate these transitions successfully, it is important to understand what is happening to the teens; how these transitions affect teens and what support resources are available.
