Decoding Distress: Jewish Parenting for Teen Mental Health
Online
Free
During Mental Health Awareness Month, Moving Traditions invites parents and educators of Jewish youth to join us for a conversation about how to best support teen wellbeing, resilience, and mental health.
Dr. Jess Shatkin, founder and director of NYU's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies, will share his expert insights with Rabbi Daniel Brenner. We will also hear hear a teen perspective from a Kol Koleinu fellow focused on mental health, share trends among Jewish teens, and discuss how to support teen wellbeing through Jewish identity and community.
We will be asking difficult questions like:
* How can we teach our teens the skills they need to be resilient in the face of adversity?
* What does the spectrum between wellbeing and mental health look like? How can you know if a teen needs professional support?
* How can parents support their own mental wellbeing and model healthy living for the teens in their lives?
Following the one-hour discussion, we invite participants to stay connected for an optional “after-party” where they can network, share reflections, and continue the conversation among other parents and educators.
