Control– Parent Teen Issues

This one-day workshop offers caregivers and family members an opportunity to examine the challenges of parent-teen communications.  We’ll look at issues like the sources of conflict, the “rules” we create in relating to each other, getting unstuck from the current pattern, and strategies for improving the situation. 

This one-day workshop focuses on mental health and what happens when life’s stressors become more than we can cope with and our mental health declines towards mental illness.  We’ll find out what this mental state feels like and how we can effectively help someone who is struggling to hold onto their mental health.
