So, I decided that Monday is the day that I recommend things – books, talks, movies, whatever applicable in my work with students…and this Monday I recommend Jeanmarie Cahill’s talk for parents this Tuesday night. Jeanmarie is a MFT who works with adolescents in the Bay Area and was one of my favorite professors when I was getting my Masters in Counseling at USF. All of the information is below, but please note that space is limited, so RSVP to education@doctorcarlton.com.
Teens in Trouble: How to Know When Your Teen Needs Help
Please join Dr. Pamela Carlton for an ongoing Free Education Program For Parents of Teens and Young Adults.
Teens today are burdened by more stress than teens of years past. Teenagers are forced to confront increases in stress on several fronts: school, athletics, extracurricular activities, relationships, technology and employment, while simultaneously responding physically, mentally and emotionally to the challenges that accompany normal adolescent development. The parents of a teenager and those who work with teenagers, on a regular basis, must remain on the alert for signals that a teenager is in trouble and needs support through this critical period of their life and specifically in dealing with their stress.
This presentation will focus on helping parents, and those who work with teenagers, determine when a teenager
needs help, how to provide that help and how to go about getting outside help.
