Support Group for Parents of Teenagers

Adolescence is a challenging time for our children and for those of us who must guide them through to adulthood. During this period, youngsters who were previously responsive to our limit setting and advice, often greet our contributions with suspicion. Join us to discuss these changes particularly in regard to discipline, autonomy, the impact of drugs and sex, and to share concerns, complaints, and problem solving strategies.
