Today's young people are struggling against the tide of cultural revolution, battling waves of confusion and chaos to find their moorings.

Gone are the rites of passage, markers of thresholds in young lives, once observed as memorable family traditions. Left to drift into adulthood at the mercy of the winds of change, many of today's youth have crashed on the shoals as statistics in the shipwreck of suicide, now the second leading cause of death among Gen Z and Gen Alpha youth.

Sometimes progress means abandoning whatever isn't working and returning to whatever worked. We owe it to our children to turn this around for them.

In this booklet you'll find tools for helping to launch your child or youth group participant through a successful transition into adulthood. You'll discover:

Why an adolescent needs a LifeLaunch

The benefits of a LifeLaunch celebration

A workbook for planning a LifeLaunch party

A guestbook and space for special messages from your guests
