Challenges & Solutions

Parenting has never been simple—and today’s young people are growing up in a world filled with stress, identity questions, academic and social pressures, and constant digital connection. These experiences can affect mental health in powerful ways, and many parents are left wondering: What’s normal? What’s a red flag? And how do I keep my child safe?

This Lunch & Learn Conversation offers a supportive and practical space for parents and caregivers to talk openly about suicide prevention through the lens of protecting kids’ mental health. Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW will be talking with Aimee Prange, LCSW who spent nearly two decades with a national health care organization where she served as Clinical Director for Suicide Prevention Strategy.  Together, we’ll explore what helps young people feel connected, supported, and safe—starting with everyday parent-child moments that build trust over time.

Parents will have time throughout the conversation to ask questions, reflect on real-life scenarios, and leave feeling more supported in how to stay present and responsive when their child needs them most.

Challenges & Solutions

As your child moves through adolescence, they may act like they know it all or resist parent guidance. However, over the course of middle school and high school, they will undoubtedly get a crash course in self-doubt, rejection, love, and adventure. They will face important challenges like college or job applications, planning for their future, and a lot more.

Help your child discover and embrace their independence with skills that will help them thrive. From doing laundry to changing tires to handling finances, practical knowledge and skills will strengthen resilience and emotional wellbeing.

Join Peace at Home Parenting Solutions experts Tanika Eaves, Ph.D., L.C.S.W., IMH-E®, and Aaron Weintraub, M.S., to learn how to strengthen that connection and become the secure anchor for your teen.

Challenges & Solutions

Raising a daughter in today’s world feels more complex than ever. You want to raise her to be confident and strong, but you also worry about the pressures she faces—from friendships and social media to a culture that’s constantly sending mixed messages about her worth.  You want to be her guide, her soft place to land, but sometimes it feels like you’re speaking a different language.

What if the secret to navigating it all isn’t a list of rules, but the strength of your connection with her?

This workshop is about becoming the calm, confident guide your daughter needs. We’ll explore how your secure and loving relationship can be the anchor that holds her steady through the stormy seas of growing up. We start from a simple, powerful belief: deep down, your daughter is good, and her behavior is just her way of communicating what she needs. Our job is to listen underneath the words.

You are your daughter’s most important relationship. Join Peace at Home Experts Tanika Eaves, PhD, LCSW, IMH-E®, and Aaron Weintraub, MS, to learn how to strengthen that connection and become the secure anchor she can count on, no matter what challenges come her way.

Challenges & Solutions

Raising boys is a journey filled with beautiful chaos. It’s the boundless energy, the muddy sneakers, the unexpected tenderness, and the big, stormy feelings that can leave you wondering if you’re getting any of this right. You see the good kid you know is in there, but sometimes it gets lost behind a wall of defiance, a sudden outburst, or the frustrating silence of a slammed door.

You’re not alone. In a world full of noise and distractions, it’s easy to feel like you’re losing your influence. You might be asking yourself:

  • How do I handle his endless energy and aggression without crushing his spirit?
  • How can I get him to listen without yelling, threatening, or giving in?
  • How do I stay his most trusted guide when the pull of his friends gets stronger every day?

This workshop isn’t about finding the perfect technique to control behavior. It’s about something much deeper and more powerful: strengthening your connection. Because when your bond is secure, everything else gets easier. You become the safe harbor he can always return to, no matter how stormy the seas get.

Join Peace at Home Experts Aaron Weintraub, MS and Amy Alamar, Ed.D. as they share proven strategies and tools you can use every day to create connection and nurture resilient young men.  We look forward to hearing your stories and challenges and coming together to share the journey.  If you have a specific question or topic you’d like to share with Aaron and Amy ahead of time, please email Solutions@peaceathomeparenting.com.

Lighten the Mental Load: Create a Meaningful Low-Stress Holiday Season_Yale Exclusive

Experts

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Aaron Weintraub Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor Peace at Home expert Lucinda Gibbons Lucinda Gibbons,MMFT

Challenges & Solutions

The holidays are meant to bring joy. But for many parents, they also bring pressure, endless planning, and the weight of everyone else’s expectations. In fact, one poll found 20% of parents say holiday stress negatively affects family life – and nearly twice as many moms as dads rate their stress levels as “high.”

In this workshop, we’ll explore how to share the mental load of holiday prep and planning, and how to set clear expectations and boundaries. We’ll also show you ways to make the planning process part of your family connection, rather than a solo burden. Whether you’re parenting solo or with a partner, and whatever your children’s ages, you’ll leave with practical tools to bring more ease, equity, and joy to your holiday season.

Parents are craving:

  • Recognition of the invisible labor they carry (especially for moms).
  • Tools to communicate, collaborate, and share the load — especially with partners and older kids.
  • A path to connection, not just survival, through the holidays.
  • Relief from being the “default planner” of every meal, gift, and moment.

Let’s do this together.  Watch this previously hosted session with Peace at Home experts Aaron Weintraub, MS, and Lucinda Gibbons, MFT, the lead Fair Play clinical trainer, for straightforward advice, practical solutions, and simple ways to create less stress and more joy, so your whole family can enjoy the holiday season.
