"The Connection Effec

Abstract: Th
e adult world is deeply ambivalent about adolescent social relationships
. We fear the power and the effects of peer influence and worry about th
e impact of social media. Yet, our youth are remarkably lonely and have
only grown more so over the past 15 years. This talk will address this a
mbivalence and make the case that forming strong bonds with peers is
the key social developmental task of adolescence, with a surprising
range of lifelong implications. The talk will then go on to describe a u
nique intervention, The Connection Project, designed to address y
ouths' growing need for (and difficulty establishing) the deep peer
relationships needed to support their growth and development. Promising
data from randomized trials will be presented, along with discussion of
the issues involved in scaling successful interventions for youth.
