Mr. Bill Phillips

New Beginnings

Keeping track of teens can be tough for parents and worrying about whether they are drinking or doing drugs can be especially worrisome. This workshop will address substance use issues and help parents develop strategies to parent their children during adolescence when peer pressures are great.

Cyberbullying has become one of most pressing issues facing children and education today. This workshop will focus on cyber issues, their impact on the wellbeing of our children and what steps parents can take to keep them safe.

Keynote Speaker

Jeanine Fitzgerald

Better Behavior Bureau

No matter how much we love our children or find caring for them fulfilling, parenting is demanding and difficult work. There are no instruction manuals or cookbook recipes for raising happy children. Nor are there mandates that require us to take care of ourselves in the process. This workshop will present the "wheel of wellness" as a way to NTN (nurture the nurturer), not TNT (burn them out and blow them up)!
