Dear Parents,
Raising a teenager involves many rewards and challenges. To help you navigate this stage, we are sharing

HOW PARENTS CAN HELP.”
This one-hour session provides practical tools to help you:
• Distinguish between typical emotional ups and downs and more serious concerns.
• Identify signs that your teen may need additional support.
• Learn practical ways to improve your teen’s overall well-being.
