Teen Speak NJ - Workshop
Teen Speak NJ is a workshop series that was developed to combat the rising teen mental health crisis. Developed by Dr. Jennifer Salerno and part of a NJ Department of Health-supported initiative, Teen Speak equips CASAs and caregivers with the tools and confidence to have open, effective conversations with teens about some of the toughest topics they face today such as mental health, substance use, and sexual health.
Teen Speak uses motivational interviewing strategies to help parents/caregivers build strong relationships and guide their teens toward safer, more informed decisions. Through interactive sessions, participants will learn how to maintain open and nonjudgemental communication, gain confidence in addressing risk behaviors, and create a safe environment that fosters connection and trust with their teen.
This 4 hour workshop will be presented in-person on Tuesday, Oct. 14 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 and on Tuesday, October 21 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 in our CASA office
