Adolescent well-being is often misunderstood—shaped by fear, assumptions, and outdated narratives rather than what research and young people themselves tell us they need.
Join Matt Richtel, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of How We Grow Up, for a conversation with Denise Pope, co-founder of Challenge Success, alongside a member of the Challenge Success Student Advisory Council. Together, they explore what we get wrong about adolescents today—and research-backed ways to better support them.
Grounded in expert reporting on adolescent development, Challenge Success–Stanford research, and the voices of young people, this conversation examines belonging, healthy risk-taking, the impact of technology, and practical ways schools and families can support adolescent well-being, engagement, and growth in a digital age.
A recording of the webinar will be sent to all registrants.
