Raising children is a beautiful, complex, and sometimes overwhelming journey.
As parents, you play a vital role in shaping your young person's mental health - but you don't have to navigate this alone! In this practical seminar, we'll explore how to best walk alongside your young person during the critical adolescent years using both social science insights and biblical wisdom. We'll unpack the realities of teen mental health, decode the God-designed wonder (and complexity!) of the teenage brain, and discover practical ways to cultivate a peaceful home.
