Challenges & Solutions

​Adolescence is a pivotal period marked by important physical, cognitive, and social transformations. As teenagers navigate the challenges of self-identity and social dynamics, they may exhibit moodiness, anxiety, or irritability. However, when these behaviors escalate to withdrawal, lethargy, altered eating or sleeping patterns, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, or conflicts with peers and adults, it could indicate underlying depression or anxiety.​

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of mood disorders is essential for providing timely and effective support. This session will equip you with practical strategies to foster healthy coping mechanisms and promote your teen’s emotional well-being. We’ll discuss common pitfalls to avoid, ensuring that your approaches are supportive and constructive.​

Join Peace at Home Founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and Viana Turcios-Cotto Ph.D for this live, interactive session. Be better prepared to support your teen through the challenges of adolescence, promoting a healthier and more communicative parent-teen relationship.

Vaping has become one of the most popular forms of substance use among young people, despite growing evidence of its health risks and harms. Whether your child is substance free, has already experimented or is using regularly, this workshop is for you. Trust your gut and get the facts. Parent knowledge, communication, and monitoring can make a big difference in keeping your child safe. 

Join Jonathan Beazley LADC, LMFT and Peace at Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, to get the facts you need to know about teen substance use and abuse, including vaping, nicotine and cannabis.

Help Your Child Make Friends: When to Lean In and When to Let Go (2025)

Join us for this expert led live class. A recording of the class with handouts will be available once the class is complete.

Does your child have trouble making and keeping friends? 

Are you unsure about how to help? 

We all hope that our children will make meaningful connections with peers and mentors. When they struggle with making friends, it is difficult not to worry. Often, our first instinct is to try to teach specific social skills and manners, but the truth is that strong relationships come from the inside out. What we call charisma can be broken down into empathy and confidence. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are the foundation of your child’s social life.
