Back to School Mental Health Presentations
|
Sessions for Adults & Teens 
Sunday, August 26, 2018 at 4pm
First Presbyterian Church of West Chester
Heading back to school can be one of the most challenging times for kids, teens, parents, and grandparents. Young people today are facing enormous challenges, many of them different from those that were experienced even a generation ago. For teens, it can be tough to know when and how to ask for help for themselves or a friend, and parents do not automatically know how to respond when they do come forward, nor what help is available.
For adults: Marriage and Family Therapist Dr. Suzanne Levy and psychiatrist Dr. Stuart Levy will lead a panel presentation and discussion for anyone who has questions about how to support kids and teens through mental health challenges. They'll talk about the differences between typical anxiety or sadness and something that benefits from treatment, helpful ways to respond when your child comes to you seeking help, and what resources are available. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and share ideas.
For teens: Child/Adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Castro and counselor April Hankins will lead a discussion on some common back to school stressors and how to have conversations with parents, friends, and other adults about challenging topics like suicide, drugs, and relationships. Topics like depression, anxiety, social media use, and substance use will be addressed. This will be a lecture-free, open discussion session where teens can feel free to bring up topics that they want to talk about.
