Making Space: Parent Forum for Struggling Teens & Tweens

TUESDAY January 12, 2021 - 6:00-7:00 PM

As we look to put specific supports into place for different demographics at Life of Joy, we're starting a new series of events called Making Space. These forums and panels are designed to create open discussions around mental health struggles and to hear DIRECTLY from our community as to what kind of supports are most needed.

For our first forum, we're making space for PARENTS/GUARDIANS of teens and tweens. If you have an adolescent or teenager who seems to be struggling with any type of depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, eating disorder, or stressor of 2020 (isolation, grief/loss, virtual schooling, etc.) - we invite you to join us and voice what you're seeing, what they AND you are dealing with, what you sense might help, and what support YOU may need as a caretaker.

Click below to register. Zoom link will be emailed the day of the event.

This forum will be facilitated by three members of our LOJ Wellness Advisory Board:

  • Sal Schittino, Psychotherapist

  • Lauren Jenkins, Mental Health First Aid Trainer & Licensed Counselor

  • Jennifer Wheeler, Director of Community Outreach with New Life Addiction Counseling

It will take time to build things out, but together, we can all be a part of the solution.
