About this Event
This interactive event offers a platform for both parents and teens (14-17) to engage in meaningful conversations about intimacy, healthy relationships, personal boundaries, and effective communication. Together, we'll explore the intricacies of adolescence, addressing topics that range from navigating emotions to fostering connections built on respect and understanding. Join us as we embark on a journey towards fostering healthy connections and promoting holistic well-being for teens of all abilities.
