Teens, Tweens & Quarantines hosted by SPIFFY Coalition

“Teens, Tweens & Quarantines” is a presentation for parents focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on our children. In a dynamic fashion, this talk will address the teen/tween brain, explain why this pandemic is so difficult for this age group, survey the process of loss, discuss issues related to independence, autonomy, and privacy, and offer perspectives and suggestions that parents can implement immediately. In addition, parents will have the opportunity to ask questions and get concrete answers for practical steps they can take in real time.

Presented by Jon Mattleman, New England Clinical Director from Minding Your Mind with support from Kristal Cleaver, Director of Community Education from Clinical & Support Options.

Sponsored by the SPIFFY Coalition in collaboration with area prevention coalitions and the Northwestern District Attorney's office.
