3. DOSA Presents: The Secret Lives of Teens and Tweens with Jon Mattleman

The Dedham Organization for Substance Awareness (DOSA) Parent Action Team is hosting a free, two-part webinar via Zoom for parents and caregivers with Counselor Jon Mattleman called "The Secret Lives of Teens and Tweens with Jon Mattleman". The series is designed to be a fun and dynamic virtual program about what teens and tweens are really thinking, what they fear, why they do not share more, and how adults can effectively support them, especially during COVID-19. This presentation covers depression and anxiety, social media and technology, suicide, "acting out" behaviors, drug and alcohol use, and more. Participants will learn strategies they can implement now (Who has time to wait?!), including new ways of understanding teen/tween behavior, innovative techniques for engaging them, and specific language to better elicit productive conversations.
