"Fostering Resilience and Hope in our Children Today"
Hosted by: The North Branch School, Celebrating 25 years
This event is free and open to all who'd like to be part of a community discussion led by local professionals who work with adolescents/ young adults in both the mental health and education settings, and will be moderated by Bill McKibben. We know that these are challenging and confusing times to raise children; connection, community and collaboration make the day-to-day feel less overwhelming and lonely. We hope to create a space to ask questions and have a facilitated discussion on how to best move into conversations around current challenges facing families and adolescents today. Our goal is for participants to walk away with new ideas on how to approach conversation, listen to and connect with their kids.
