and mental health content is becoming more prevalent by the day. Our young people have access to information we are only just learning ourselves. But what a lot of that content misses is where God plays a part.

We've compiled a list of some of the best Catholic mental health resources on the NFCYM site. Take a look! https://nfcym.org/resources/topics/mental-health/

Keeping young people engaged isn't about finding the perfect program. It's about creating a ministry where they are known, trusted, and invited to belong.

👉 Young people engage when they are trusted with real leadership.
👉 Young people engage when they become co-responsible for their faith journey.
👉 Ministry must be done with young people, not for them.
👉 Lasting engagement comes through accompaniment and trusting relationships.
👉 Young people flourish when they know they are not alone.

Which of these has had the biggest impact on your ministry?

The biggest impact youth ministry has on young people isn’t the games, the activities, or even the meals.

It’s the people.

Ask most adults what helped them stay Catholic, and they won’t name a program. They’ll name a person.

A parish culture of accompaniment is built on knowing young people by name, remembering the details of their lives, and actually caring enough to follow up when they miss a week. It means real conversations instead of surface-level check-ins, taking their questions seriously instead of rushing to answers, and entrusting them with real responsibility so they know they matter.

This kind of accompaniment is what actually forms lifelong Catholics.

If a young person's Catholic community ends at graduation, we've missed a crucial step.

As youth ministers, one of the most important things we can do is help young people find their next Catholic community before they leave ours.

Introduce them to a mentor, give them information for a young adult group in their location, find them a parish.

NFCYM connects thousands of youth ministers across the country, making it easier to help young people stay connected wherever God leads them next. Become a member and join the network today! It's not too late to connect your young people before the new school year starts.
