This month on our podcast, the teens open up about their experiences during this unusual period of remote learning and socially distanced time with friends.

They candidly share their struggles and happy moments–and also give us some ideas of how we can support teens in our lives who are facing loneliness, depression, and anxiety.

Embers is a place where teens share their stories as they navigate the waters between childhood and adulthood. Join us as they explore timely and compelling topics—fanning the embers burning in each of us.

Embers is a production of valo. We are an organization committed to guiding teens as they seek to create real connections in our increasingly digital world. We take teens from all walks of life on retreats. In this space, they are eager to open up and uncover what matters most. For them, it’s pretty simple—sustained, unplugged, face-to-face connection.
