Thoughtful Series: How to Raise Socially Skilled Tweens & Teens Who Can Navigate Friendship Challenges

We invite you to join us on Tuesday, March 25 at 8:30 a.m. in the Goshen Campus Library for a webinar by Phyllis Fagell, a licensed mental health therapist at Chrysalis Group, Inc. and a certified school counselor at Landon School. She is also the author of Middle School Matters: The 10 Key Skills Kids Need to Thrive in Middle School and Beyond – and How Parents Can Help and Middle School Superpowers: Raising Resilient Tweens in Turbulent Times. 

Following the webinar, we’ll engage in a thoughtful discussion on helping tweens and teens develop strong social skills and navigate friendship challenges. The conversation will explore how a sense of belonging empowers young people to take healthy social and academic risks, manage setbacks, cope with intense emotions, and make smart choices both online and offline.

Ms. Fagell will share practical strategies to strengthen your child’s social skills, encourage healthy risk-taking at an age when embarrassment is a major concern, and help them find their place among peers. While these strategies apply to all children, this Thoughtful Series is geared towards parents/guardians of 3rd – 10th grade students. 

For questions and to RSVP, please contact Julie Marks at 502-795-3476 on the Goshen Campus or Dr. TuNice Cole at 502-736-1015 at the High School.
