About this Event
Many of us are parenting Gen Z teens. This highly diverse group of young people are navigating increasing levels of mental health challenges, being social in a digital world, coping with the realities of climate change, and coming of age in a time of great social, cultural, and political polarization. But today’s teens also bring a host of strengths such as their collaborative, pragmatic, and flexible values. Let’s learn more about who our teens are and how we can support them as they move towards adulthood.
Join the Forest Park Board of Health in the Community Room at the Forest Park Public Library for a talk by Dr Orson Morrison talking about the intricacies of Gen Z as they move into adulthood.
