​We look forward to seeing you in January
for our discussion entitled “Get a Job!”
​
How can we parents support teens as they prepare for part time job interviews, balancing personal commitments, and building a solid work ethic?

Why?

We believe in fostering dialog through teaching and learning: from each other, but also from the experts. A sampling of recent events includes:

• Multiple screenings of Angst, the mental health awareness documentary
• Workshops on fostering resilience and healthy coping skills, featuring adolescent development expert Kenneth Ginsburg, M.D., M.S.Ed., FAAP  
• Pathways Music Fest, in partnership with Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation: a safe and fun Friday night offering for middle schoolers
• Playshop, with Jeff and Lee Franklin: a workshop exploring the benefits of imaginative play on healthy brain development
• ​Challenge Success survey at Severna Park Middle School, a tool that is designed to help schools make data-driven decisions to improve student well-being and engagement in learning.
• Our kick-off event was a well-attended panel discussion of clergy, coaches and community members.
