Trying to offer support when your adolescent seems upset or stressed can feel like tiptoeing through a minefield. In this highly interactive 90-minute workshop, you will learn how to offer emotional support comfortably and effectively when your teen is experiencing strong emotions such as stress, frustration, anxiety, or anger. You will learn how to respond in a way that helps your student feel better and think more clearly, while strengthening your relationship.

Eran Magen, Ph.D., is the founder and scientific director of the Center for Supportive Relationships (http://SupportiveRelationships.org), which provides relational skills training for school districts, higher education institutions, healthcare professionals, and private corporations.
