Announcing FREE four session Parent Group Series: Navigating the Rocky Road of Adolescence.  Starting Nov. 2, for parents of teens, led by licensed psychologist Deborah Weinstock-Savoy, Ph.D.  We will explore the many changes that occur during adolescence and how they affect relationships at home and school.  Parents will discuss relevant topics such as promoting healthy choices; setting realistic limits and appropriate consequences; understanding when and how to negotiate; dealing with changes and crises (e.g., divorce); identifying risk factors for anxiety and depression; handling experimentation with sex, alcohol, drugs, and learning to “let go” while maintaining family connections.  Sponsored by the Friedman Center for Child and Family Development and The Newton Partnership. Held at the Newton Cultural Center, 225 Nevada St.. Newtonville on four Wednesday evening sessions (11/2, 11/9, 11/16 and 11/30) from 7:00-8:30 PM. Groups fill up quickly.
