Every day, we’re working behind the scenes at Jared’s Heart of Success, pouring into our youth and teens and creating space for honest conversations.

We’re giving them practical tools to express themselves, work through disagreements, and handle conflict before it escalates into an altercation or gun violence. Special thanks to Mr. Ansen for facilitating today’s session on active listening, tone of voice, and body language. How we listen, speak, and respond can make a difference in whether a conversation builds understanding or increases tension. Helping young people pause, listen to understand, and express themselves respectfully is a critical part of our violence prevention work. These are skills they can carry into their classrooms, homes, and communities. 🧡 #youthandteens #violenceprevention #startearly
