A Conversation….For Parents of Teens

A series of one night FREE programs for parents focusing on a singular topic related to the challenges of parenting of a teen. Limited to nine parents a night, this interactive group shares stories and receives feedback in a comfortable and confidential setting (dinner is also served during the group). Below are the topics for the fall and early winter; learn more at www.needhamma.gov/youth/aconversation.

Parents may register for all four nights --- however, please specify order of preference as we may not be able to guarantee parents all of their selections. These programs will sell out, so please register ASAP.  Registration information can be found online at: www.needhamma.gov/youth/brochure/2011/fall.

All sessions will be facilitated by Youth Services Director Jon Mattleman (Jon can be contacted at jmattleman@needhamma.gov).
