Join us for a conversation with Rick Irving, a clinical social worker with over 30 years experience working with children, families and schools, for ideas on raising safe, healthy and competent teens.

FROM VULNERABILITY TO MATURITY Ideas on how to raise safe, healthy and competent adolescents Adolescence is a period of enormous and sometimes overwhelming challenge.

Pre-teens and teenagers experience physiological and emotional changes that often throw them off balance.

It is a time when they need our help and yet seem almost desperately to reject it.

Understandably, parents can feel unsure and even frightened about how best to guide their children through this at times risky developmental period.

In this workshop, we will look at normal and challenging adolescent development, and identify some of the causes, signs and symptoms of stress and depression in our children.

We will look at both healthy and not so helpful coping skills and defenses common to this age group.

Throughout the presentation, we will cover ways parents can help their children develop the self-esteem skills necessary to navigate safely and with confidence toward maturity, self-management, and social competence in a very pressured world.

Please bring questions or concerns you have about your own child.
