Are you currently raising or caring for a teen who won’t listen? Do you wish you could have a less stressful relationship with them and still prepare them for the world? This workshop will help you get through to your teen, not to mention help them get ready to face the adult world responsibly and independently.

Workshop Topics:

  • Improving communication
  • Taking action without punishing
  • Encouraging responsibility and autonomy
  • Working out problems together
  • Talking about sex and drugs without lecturing or alienation

What is the program like?

This is an interactive class with participants from different parts of the Hudson Valley. You’ll be working with the workshop host and other parents to learn, work on exercises together, and share resources. You’ll also be able to share stories and get support from people who know what you’re going through.
