Many Americans may be concerned about the uncertainty that comes with the coronavirus pandemic. Experts say that your children can feel your anxiety, and it's important to talk to them about what's going on. Youth Villages is an organization that provides help for children in teens across the U. S.....Johnnie is only 16, but five of his friends have been killed in the past year, and he has spent time at the Marion County Juvenile Detention Center. Our Intercept program, with the help of family specialist Michelle Hairston, stepped in and gave Johnnie the support he needed to express himself and get to the root of his frustrations.
