Parents and Professionals, Please
Join Us at Stevenson for
Restoring Hope during
Adolescent Crises
an evening of networking and
panel discussion
Date: April 3, 2014
Time: 6:30-8:00 PM
Adolescence features major developmental
tensions physically, socially, emotionally and academically. As a parent of an
adolescent, you may feel hard pressed to know how to help your child with complex
problems. Our panel of experts will provide you with key pointers for
recognizing problems when they start and offer specific ways to help your child
engage in a meaningful, well-balanced life.
Questions to be addressed: When is
intervention needed? Does your adolescent need an
alternative school environment? Will your adolescent ever go back into
mainstream education? What are reasonable parenting
expectations? What supports should you make sure exist on a college
campus? Professionals working with
adolescents and their parents may also find this event quite helpful.
