June 1, 2025 | Louise EdwardsWe expect some drama in the teen years. The eye rolls, the slammed doors, the grunts. But how do you know when it’s just teenage moodiness—and when it’s something more?
When does typical worry cross the line into trouble sleeping every night?
When does grief over a breakup slide into hopelessness or withdrawal?
When does “I need space,” become “I don’t care about anything anymore”?
These moments can be hard to spot and even harder to navigate. But you don’t have to figure it out alone.
In 2021 the Surgeon General declared a national emergency in child and adolescent mental health. But even before COVID-19, rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts among youth were on the rise
Many young people are struggling quietly—masked by anger, withdrawal, or even perfectionism – and even the most attentive parents can miss the signs.
That’s why this workshop exists.
It’s not about panic—it’s about knowledge, tools and insight . It’s about knowing what to look for, how to respond without judgment, and when to lean in with more support.
If you’ve ever lain awake at night wondering Is this normal? Should I be worried? Am I doing enough?—this is for you.
You don’t need a psychology degree to support your child’s mental health. You just need the right tools, a listening heart, and a willingness to learn.
Join Peace at Home Founder, Ruth Freeman, LCSW and Viana Turcios-Cotto, Ph.D. for an honest, practical workshop that could help you spot early signs, respond with clarity, and build a deeper connection with your teen—even when things get hard.
Because they need you. And you deserve support.
