Today is World Mental health day. It matters!!! Mindfulness, Yoga, Activities, Conversations, Share are just a few ways to help with healthy mental health.

Youths in "high achieving schools" are now on a list of "at-risk" groups, along with kids living in poverty and foster care, recent immigrants and those with incarcerated parents. "When parents ask me where all of this pressure is coming from, I ask them: Where is it not?"

https://www.facebook.com/events/445933192672573/?ti=icl I will be presenting a free parent workshop on Saturday, September 7th. We will cover the impact of social media and gaming on teen mental health and offer parents some tips on managing tech in their children’s lives.

I will be facilitating a parenting workshop at the Fremont Main Library on Saturday, May 4th. This is for parents and their kids as well. Teens are encouraged to attend and share their perspective.
