Every month we select a topic relevant to our current environment and each discussion includes Q/A. Questions can be submitted in advance through the registration process or real time during the program. Mental health experts and teens are also welcome to attend these events.

Expectations or Cliffs?
Realistic Goal Setting To Prevent Teen Suicidal Ideation
Teens today are under pressure from school, social media, parents. Parents are also feeling pressure. We want our kids to have more, do more, achieve more than we did. We’re constantly reminded on social media of how much other kids have achieved but is this an accurate representation? As parents, are we holding our kids to unachievable standards? Are we creating more pressure than necessary? Join Dr. Cam Caswell and Casey Sarafinas, LPC, to discuss the importance of setting realistic goals with (and for) our kids and how average may not be such a bad thing.
