May 22, 2008 - Presented by Region VIII
Adolescent Health Task Force Speakers: Dr. Janet Sasson Edgette, Psy.D. Notes: The Region VIII Adolescent Health Task Force will hold its 19th Annual Spring Forum on May 22nd at the South Branch Inn in Romney. SEARCH surveys done in several regional counties all reflect national data in one finding: a majority of youth report that they feel supported by their families, but a much smaller percentage feel that they can communicate positively with their parents and would seek advice from a parent. That's a shame, because parents want to know - and kids actually want to talk about - how they regard themselves, what they really care about, what worries them, and how they see the future. In this workshop, we will explore ways to help parents identify opportunities to engage their kids and teens in candid conversations that move beyond platitudes and daily logistics to subjects that actually build character. We will learn to help families distinguish between communication habits that sabotage meaningful conversations and those that facilitate them. as well as guide them through any awkward beginning attempts to alter the family's longstanding relational patterns. There is a fee for this training. This training is approved for 5 CE Hours
