Adolescence is a turbulent time, and parents often feel the brunt of their child’s struggle to gain independence and form an individual identity. But today’s teens face an additional set of stressors, ranging from the isolating effects of social media to the anxiety and trauma of social, political, and environmental crises. In this presentation, Liz offers tools for helping teens to navigate this challenging time in their lives and in the world—as well as tips to help parents stay balanced and supported.

Liz Jorgensen will cover areas including:
•  How to tell the difference between “normal” adolescent development and warning signs of a mental health issue
•. Ways to set effective limits on alcohol and drug use, technology, socializing, sexual activity, and more
•  Creating team parenting strategies and growing your parent support network
•  Using humor to stay balanced and to connect with your teen
