Overview:

This 9-week group, designed specifically for parents of children ages 13-18, offers a constructive and collaborative space to acquire skills and learn strategies for parenting in a tech-filled world.  Co-facilitated by Jeremy Edge, LPC-S and Kristen Ohlenforst, PhD, this group offers data-driven content, evidence-based parenting strategies, and opportunities to intentionally craft your family’s healthy tech practices.    

This group is for parents only (children may not attend) and meets once-weekly.  As per usual, we limit the size of this group to allow adequate time/attention for each family’s specific needs and concerns.
