Youth Connect, in
partnership with Sewickley Academy and QV Voice, presents "Teen
Talk," a panel discussion for parents and other caregivers. The
discussion, slated for Friday morning, January 25, will be led by a
group of Sewickley Academy Upper School students, as well as members of the QV
Voice Peer Advocates, Quaker Valley high school students dedicated to
encouraging their fellow students to express opinions and providing
resources and strategies through engagement in lunch discussion groups and
school-wide presentations and activities.
The student
discussion leaders will share some of the major issues teens are facing
today, and what parents and other adults can do to help them navigate the teen
years. Using a set of scenarios to describe what a typical teen
encounters and works through during the course of his or her high school
career, the panel will engage the audience in thinking about ways
adults--particularly parents and caregivers--can offer support without being
shut down by a self-conscious teem.
"Teen
Talk" will take place in the 2nd floor community room at Sewickley Public
Library, 500 Thorn Street, starting at 9 am on Friday, January 25th,
2013. The program is free and open to the public.
