Parent Empowerment Speaker Series: Strengthening Youth by Empowering Parents

Description

Parents are the most important protective factor for their kids. Unfortunately, parents may lack the knowledge, skills, and resources to help their youth successfully navigate the pitfalls of our modern world. Each Tuesday in April, we will host a webinar focusing on informing, connecting, and finding solutions that empower parents and guardians. Topics will range from developing healthy relationships with our teens to addressing mental health issues. Within each session presenters will also address screen time, social media, cyberbullying, sexual exploitation, and healthy technology use.

Prepare to feel empowered!
