About This Workshop

​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.
