About This Workshop

A Two-Part Workshop for Parents

Adolescence is a time of growth, change, and increasing autonomy—but it can also bring challenges related to mental health, social pressures, and identity development. Research consistently shows that a strong parent-child relationship is one of the most powerful protective factors for a child’s well-being. But what actually makes that relationship with your child strong? 

In this interactive two-part workshop you will gain evidence-based strategies to strengthen resilience, foster optimism, and support your tweens and teens as they navigate today’s complex world.

Session 1: The Power of Connection – Protecting Mental Health and Social Development  In this session at 12 pm on March 26th, we will focus on how positive parent-youth relationships serve as a critical buffer against anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

Session 2: Preparing for Independence – Communication, Resilience & the Path to Adulthood will be at 12pm on April 22nd. (Learn More Here).

Each session will include evidence-based strategies, interactive discussions, and actionable takeaways to strengthen your relationship with your tween or teen. Whether your child is struggling or thriving, these workshops will provide valuable insights to help them develop the resilience, optimism, and skills they need to navigate adolescence and confidently transition into adulthood.

Adolescence is a time when parents need lots of support. Don’t go it alone. Join us and parents like yourself for this evidence-based, engaging series. Gain the knowledge and tools to nurture strong, resilient, and optimistic tweens and teens.
