Gummies, Vaping, Nicotine and Cannabis: What Teens Know and Parents NEED to Know_MIT Exclusive

Challenges & Solutions

A lot has changed since you were a kid.

Today’s teens face a rapidly shifting landscape of substance use—from flavored vapes and high-potency cannabis products to THC-infused sodas and colorful gummies that look like harmless candy. These products are easy to access, cleverly marketed, and often seen as “safer” alternatives, even though the risks are very real.

In this honest and eye-opening session, we’ll explore why adolescence naturally invites risk-taking, how substances like nicotine and cannabis affect developing brains, and how to recognize the difference between experimentation and early signs of addiction. Whether your child is substance-free or already experimenting, you’ll leave with practical tools to respond with calm, clarity, and connection.

Because when you’re informed, connected, and proactive, you can make a powerful difference.

Join Jonathan Beazley, LADC, LMFT and Ruth Freeman, LCSW, founder of Peace At Home Parenting for this interactive workshop which combines clinical expertise with real-world strategies to help you support your teen without shame or fear.

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Aaron Weintraub Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor

Challenges & Solutions

Is your child glued to their phone—and growing more distant? Are you feeling overwhelmed by group chats, screen time battles, and emotional outbursts tied to social media? You’ve probably already discovered that the solution is not stricter punishments. What really helps is building a stronger connection with your child or teen.

Join Peace at Home ExperAaron Weintraub, MS for this powerful and practical parenting workshop.  You’ll learn how to set healthy tech boundaries without damaging trust. Discover how to move from conflict to cooperation by teaching your child (especially daughters) emotional awareness, digital safety, and mindful habits—with you as their guide, not their warden.

And remember the good news—technology is an incredible asset for kids when used intentionally. From learning apps and research tools to creative expression, social support, and safe identity exploration, tech can help your child grow, connect, and thrive in ways previous generations couldn’t have imagined.

When we shift from fear to curiosity—and from control to collaboration—we create space for kids to build a healthy, balanced relationship with technology that supports both their mental health and personal development.

Join us and learn how to parent from a place of connection—so your child learns to thrive both online and off.

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

Does it ever feel like your family is stuck in an endless race—to do more, be more, or measure up to others? Unrealistic expectations can leave both parents and children feeling like they’re never enough.

In this session, we’ll explore how perfectionism and comparison are deeply intertwined, feeding the illusion that other families “have it all together.” Social media, academic pressure, and even well-meaning parenting habits can reinforce this cycle, increasing stress, anxiety, and disconnection within the family.

Perfectionism has become increasingly common, especially among young people, over the past 30 years and is associated with depression, eating disorders, and even suicide. But the good news is, you can interrupt this cycle. You’ll learn how to shift away from unrealistic standards and toward values like authenticity, connection, and self-compassion.

Join Peace at Home Founder, Ruth Freeman LCSW to learn how to recognize these harmful patterns, understand their emotional impact, and take concrete steps to foster a healthier, more accepting family environment.

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW expert - viana turcious-cotto Viana Turcios-Cotto,Ph.D.

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.

Challenges & Solutions

Rapid growth, exploration and risk taking are all part of teen development. Taking risks gives 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.

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.

New babies are driven to eat, play, and sleep throughout the day – it’s how they grow.  Sounds simple but balancing your work with new baby’s needs can be challenging, especially when you are working from home.  During your leave you adapted to your new baby’s needs and now feel a special bond that you don’t want to compromise as you return to work.  Consider important ways that you can create balance and not give up your special relationship to your new baby.
