Empowering Youth and Family Communication: The Agreement

Youth face real issues when communicating with the adults in their lives. Youth and adults alike want to be heard and taken seriously, but each can struggle to find productive ways to communicate.
During this interactive session, we’ll identify barriers youth and adults face when communicating; delve into the impact memories, genetics, and development have on behavior and communication; and discuss the opportunity you have to empower productive communication
Walk away with tools you can immediately implement to impact youth and families you serve.
