Dimensions Counseling Presents ....Strategies for Reducing Risky Behavior

Today’s youth face significant challenges; so do parents.  This presentation will highlight challenges related to alcohol and/or drug use, violence, sexuality, and internet/involvement & safety.  Factors that influence these behaviors (brain development, belief systems, media, peers and parents) will be discussed along with current trends.  Attendees will learn strategies to prevent and/or reduce involvement, how to identify involvement and how to access help if needed.  Registration is required as seating is limited.
