The Parent Venture is delighted to host Dr. Lisa Damour, author of the new bestselling book, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers:
In this webinar, parents/caregivers and educators will learn:
* What to expect in the normal course of adolescent emotional development and when it’s time to worry
• Why teens (and adults) need to understand that mental health isn’t about “feeling good” but about having feelings that fit the moment, even if those feelings are unwanted or painful
• Strategies for supporting teens who feel at the mercy of their emotions, so they can become psychologically aware and skilled at managing their feelings
• How to approach common challenges that come with adolescence, such as friction at home, spiking anxiety, risky behavior, navigating friendships, social media, and many more
With clear, research-informed explanations and real-life examples, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers gives families the concrete, practical information they need to guide their teens through the bumpy yet transformational journey into adulthood.
Lisa Damour, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and the author of three New York Times best sellers: Untangled, Under Pressure, and The Emotional Lives of Teenagers. She co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast, works with UNICEF, and is recognized as a thought leader by the APA.
Parents/caregivers, students, educators, health professionals, and community members welcome! Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available. Free admission.
