Live Interactive Workshop

Lighten the Mental Load: Create a Connected, Low-Stress Holiday Season

October 28, 2025 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

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 into your holiday season – starting with Halloween!

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. Join us for straight talk, simple solutions, and practical ways to create less stress and more joy, so your whole family can look forward to the holiday season!

Teen Mental Health and Substance Use

Experts

Challenges & Solutions

Rapid growth, exploration and risk taking are all part of teen development. Taking risks give teens a chance to test their abilities and learn more about themselves. Some risks, however, can be harmful and have lasting effects on your child’s health and well-being. 

Two of parents’ biggest concerns about teens right now are mental health and substance use. And there’s a strong connection between these two issues.

Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW examines these issues with Jonathan Beazley, LADC, LMFT, retired Alcohol and Drug Interventionist at the University of Connecticut. Their conversation will include vaping, which has become one of the most popular forms of substance use among young people, despite the growing evidence of its health risks and harms. When talking about substance use and abuse with your kids, it’s helpful to know the facts and the myths. Parent knowledge, communication, and monitoring can make a big difference in keeping your child safe. Whether your child has not tried substances or has already begun to use or is using regularly, this conversation is for you.

Understand and Support Your Neurodivergent Child: From Misbehavior to Stress Response (MIT Exclusive)

October 28, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Login to access

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Michelle Sebak Michelle Sebak,MS

Challenges & Solutions

We often view kids’ challenging behaviors as misbehavior – that is intentional or even manipulative to gain or avoid something. However, science tells us that what is often viewed as misbehavior is actually a stress response. When a child feels stressed or unsafe on the inside, challenging behaviors are often what we see on the outside. And neurodivergent children, like those with autism or ADHD, are even more vulnerable to feeling stressed than neurotypical children. Many adults believe that time-outs or punishment will help, but you’ve probably noticed that isn’t true and it can be harmful to your child. Let’s work on this together.

Click the button above to register for this MIT Exclusive, 45 minute, virtual, Interactive workshop.  We’ll email (1) a zoom link to add to your calendar, (2) reminders as the date gets closer and (3) a link to the recording and handouts once the live session is complete. Come learn proven, effective solutions that quickly produce positive results giving you more clarity and confidence.
