Raising Resilient Teens: Practical Skills for Parents
Join us for an in-person presentation on strategies for handling stress and anxiety as parents of teens and for helping your teen do the same.
Our event is designed for parents and caregivers raising children aged 13- 19. Attendees will have an opportunity to connect with others, share experiences, and learn ways to support their teens. Participants will learn together, join discussions, and get practical tips using the “Cope, Calm, and Care” method.
- Cope — Applying cognitive thinking strategies and skills for tackling challenging situations.
- Calm — Using emotion regulation, modulation, regulation, and physiological control to approach and respond to challenging situations and crises more effectively.
- Care — Connecting with things that are bigger than each of us individually, finding meaning and setting goals that are right for us, engaging with others in a substantial way, and practicing adaptive, healthy strategies in our interactions with others.
This in-person presentation will be led by Dr. Kira Mauseth. Our event is co sponsored by Forefront Suicide Prevention, a Center for Excellence at the University of Washington, focused on mental health promotion and suicide prevention through training, programs, and public policy changes.
