JJ: I agree, Esther. The SOVA websites are one of many ways that those suffering can find a supportive community. We also worked this month with another expert on social connections. What is awesome about Dr. Alison Culyba’s research is that she is working with local Pittsburgh adolescents to understand what protects youths. Her work will look at the tangible pieces of social support and mentorship to design interventions that positively affect youths as they grow into adults.
EB: You always provide the most fascinating and new research. I’m so proud of this partnership and what we’ve all created together. I know that each month I learn something new or think about my health in a different way. This year we will continue to disseminate health and research to Courier readers.
JJ: Thank you, Esther, for your time and energy to make these pages empowering to readers. From all of us at the Urban League, CTSI, the University of Pittsburgh, UPMC Center for Engagement and Inclusion and the New Pittsburgh Courier, we thank you for reading this page.
