About this Event

Join us for an in-person presentation designed for parents and caregivers raising children aged 10-19, featuring tips and strategies to establish healthy screen boundaries and foster emotional resilience in their teens.

Our presenter, Dr. Jennifer Tininenko, licensed clinical psychologist and Director of the Child Anxiety Center at EBTCS. She will lead an eye-opening discussion on the real effects of screens on adolescent mental health. Dr. Tininenko will break down what the research says about social media, gaming, and screen time—and how these digital habits can contribute to stress, sleep issues, and anxiety.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with others, share their experiences, and learn about strategies to help their children establish healthy screen boundaries, reduce technology-related stress, and promote emotional resilience in their teens. Participants will leave with actionable tips they can implement right away to create a healthier balance with technology in their homes.

Whether your teen is glued to their phone or you want to be proactive about their mental well-being, this talk is for you!
