a weekly in-person group for the parents of teens
Parenting teenagers is filled with unique joys and intense challenges. Our teens are becoming more mature, yet as they grapple with stress from rigorous academics, relationships, the lure of social media, and challenging transitions, we as parents struggle ourselves and wonder how best to support them.
There’s no need to navigate the tricky teen years and worry on your own! We’ll discuss:
- Ways to offer the right support for your teen while fostering independence
- Keeping communication lines open even as your teen is (appropriately) pulling away
- Levels of teen stress and anxiety that are okay – and when to step in or be concerned
- How to respond to your teen’s changing moods while also taking care of yourself
- Strategies to provide scaffolding as needed during your teen’s transitional phases
Led by therapists who are also parents, this group will provide a safe space for parents to find support, share concerns, and learn practical skills and strategies to navigate these challenging years. We’ll also host experts from the parenting world to discuss various topics.
Open to all parents of teens, including those being served already at the Institute for Girls’ Development and Flourish Therapy and Wellness Center.
