TEEN PROGRAMS
Adolescence is a developmental period of concentrated growth and change, and it’s a delicate task to raise awareness about the extent to which some teens struggle with emotional issues while at the same time dispel myths that adolescents are universally unpredictable and unstable. Yet armed with accurate perceptions, teens, parents, and teachers can learn to embrace the essential role each plays in helping teens move through this complex time feeling cared for and supported, while becoming skillful at managing relationships and making good decisions.
